Exclamation 2001 cls won't run

Recently my girlfriends car overheated . I've replaced the head gaskets and shaved the heads to remove warping. Mechanically it's been repaired . Now the car turns over but won't run. Fuel is being delivered . Plugs have plenty of spark. All fuses are good. Camshaft position sensor has full power. I'm wondering if its the crankshaft sensor. Any body have any suggestions ???

Did the car ever fire after the headgasket job ?

If not I would think either crank sensor issue or a ground was not re connected.
That's if you have spark and fuel.

Any cel's with the no start?

check the crank position sensor plug right by timing belt tensioner. People tend to forget to reconect this one

so the honda dealer told me it has no compression in the pistons . could re-torquing the heads fix that? since they were shaved. i doubt the block could be cracked it ran fine before... just over heated thats all we are running out of ideas..smmhhh
