2002 au falcon

[Fingers]

I just finished my lower rear welch plug on my 02 au. Put me gearbox back in all that and finished her off new fluid and turned her over and it's now making this like rod knocking noise coming from my starter. Put it this way it's bloody loud of a knight. Any ideas?

Yea, easy way to stop the noise is to turn the engine off and recondition engine.

I think fly wheel may be out of line. Is it possible I couldve put it on back to front BC I'm only learning as I go

Whenever dismantling something that you have never worked on before or don't have manuals and diagrams of, its always a good idea to take pictures and to number or mark parts so you can put them back together the way it they were before you started. From what you've described, its possible you have assembled the flywheel incorrectly. Drop the box, inspect for damage, take a good look at the flywheel while turning the engine over by hand. Google for pics or manuals.
