At work I often resort to a mode of trouble shooting I jokingly refer to as "pecker tracks". If something breaks I first find out if anyone else has recently worked on part of it and concentrate my search there. In your case I would check the timing. Next I would double check the mechanics work. This includes checking the parts to see if they are the correct ones for your vehicle. Next I would check and see if he knocked anything loose like vacuum hoses or the connector to the TEMP sensor. Keep us posted.
