Default 1998 civic ex mini me multiple codes

Hey what's up? I'm getting 5 codes after I did a mini me swap on my civic, I believe I have a blown head gasket and I was wondering if any of these codes may be cause by the HG

p0505
p0325
p1359
p1457
p1337

when I finished the swap, I only had p1337 and figured that's because I hadn't set the timing yet and being a mini me with no adj gear, the timing couldn't be set exactly at 12* but after the car overheated and showed several signs of a blown HG the other 4 came up. Any help or links to other related threads would be greatly appreciated

Default 1998 Civic ex mini me blown head gasket?

Hey what's up? I'm pretty sure I have a blown HG but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask and get confirmation, but I'm losing coolant and overheating after about 15 mins of driving with no leaks, I'm getting coolant overflowing out the reservoir and spilling onto the transmission and when it happens, I can see steam coming from under the distributor which led me to think it was the HG but I've looked around and seen that it could be issues with the heater hose or the thermostat, which was recently replaced but may be defective, compression test showed good results, no coolant in the oil, but it does idle a little high and eradic, any info or links to related threads would be greatly appreciated

P0505 - IACV code, assuming your car is manual did you do the 3-2 wire conversion
P0325 - knock sensor, did you wire this up
P1359 - crankshaft position, this is a distributor code, did you rewire anything?
P1457 - evap code, did you hook all your sensors and vacuum lines back up
P1337 - CKF, did you plug this back up, it's by the crank pulley?

Blown head gasket and / or overheating will not cause any of those codes.

Obviously you need to take care of basic mechanical integrity issues like the cooling system first. Pull distributor so you can more clearly see if it is a hose leak or from the gasket area. A pressure tester would be useful. Make sure the fan works.

Then it appears like HondaPartsHero said, you have missing or mis-wired sensors, and possibly the wrong IACV.

It's an automatic and using the same IM and sensors, so I was able to use my wiring harness that was already in the car, and I know for a fact all the connectors are plugged in to the right sensors, I didn't have to wire anything in or change the harness at all, I got all the hose hooked into the right place using a diagram off another thread
