I just installed Patriot LS6 heads on my car, when I fired it up, my oil and temp gauges are not working.. I know for sure that I put the ground straps on the back of the drivers side head, there was 3 ground wires and I'm sure I plugged in the map sensor.. What could be the culprit? I never did deenergize the battery, do you think its possible that while all of the work was going on I shorted out a hot wire and it blew a gauge cluster fuse? Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks

If you blew the fuse to the IPC you would not have any gauge function(fuel,tach,speedo). Double check your connections at your ECT sensor and your Oil Sending unit.

What is a ETC sensor? Is that on the back of block?

I would double check the grounds on the head for loose connections!
