Default Engine no start

I did a cylinder head gasket change and now she won't start. My mileage indicator shows "NO BUS". Has any one had this experience before?

Default No BUSS

No BUSS is usually an indication that a ground wire that was removed during teardown is OPEN thus causing an open CKT at the PCM level thus the NO BUSS display at the cluster.

Check all of your grounds coming off both heads, along with any other wiring harnesses that you may have disconnected or anything else that was disconnected.

Just be sure to disconnect the NEG from the battery PRIOR to connecting any wiring harness connector, ground, relay etc etc.
