Welcome to FTE. What seals did you replace? Do you have a scanner where you can monitor live data while cranking? That would make life easier.
To start, make sure you didn't forget to plug something back in. Check the fuses, check the engine oil level and oil level in the HPOP reservoir. Can you hear the fuel pump come on when the key is turned to the on position? WTS light come on & go off like normal with the key?

Do you know how to check the oil level in the HPOP reservoir? It should be 3/4 - 1" from completely full. There's a drain valve that keeps it from going 100% full I believe.
Do you have fuel in the fuel bowl?
Have you checked all your harness connections & sensor connections?
