timing belt
I just put a new timing belt in my b16, I turned the car on and it runs like shit. I pulled the spark plugs and found oil on all 4 of them. I hope I didnt f it up.

When you changed it, were you at TDC? Did you re-tighten the belt tensioner?

Oil on the plugs isn't necesarily a bad thing, it depends on where the oil is. If it's on the actual firing surface you could have big problems. A little oil on the neck/porcelain or threads is indicative of bad valve cover gaskets.
Did you check timing?

After you set timing did you roll the motor over twice and recheck?
