Running rough!!

Ok guys this is my first yota, it's a 1990 4x4 pickup with supp a rebuilt engine. The other day it started running funny at a stop light and acted like it was running off of 3 cyniders. Got it home and there was a strong rich smell come inch from the back near the fire wall. I'm thinking it may be a head gasket due to some water lose in the rad, but it never overheated and once you get going it runs fine. Any ideas would be great!!

Do a good tune up. Don't use bosh. And make sure it's not something silly like a loose plug wire. That sort of crap would happen to me. Denso spark plugs can be found for around $10. Your motor was designed for these plugs.
I have always bought "what the parts store had". Well I have had to redo some of y work too soon for my opinion. I am now slowly switching back over to oem. They just seem to run a little better.
