Good afternoon,

This could be either the crankshaft position sensor which is mounted on the bell housing or it could be the flywheel itself. Crank the engine and see if you have an RPM reading on the dash.

Did you have the flywheel off during the repair? Make sure the flywheel cannot be installed in more than one way. That would mess up with the timing.
