Default Problems after installing new heads

I had my 2 heads replaced by a mechanics (350z 2005). Right after I see low idle RPM with extremely low oil pressure (close to 0 at idle).
A week after my catalytic converter on the driver side melted. Now I hear a knocking noise when accelerating. I don t know what to do as I believe that my mechanic probably did not re-wire everything properly when installing the new heads. Any ideas?

You might start by taking it back to your "mechanic". No one is going to be able to diagnose this remotely.
