Some other pics from today....
The oil pan was dented near where the oil pickup is. So I decided to pull the pan and straighten it to make sure the oil pump isn't starved.

Topped off fluids today. Bled the cooling and power steering. Secured the wiring harnesses. Installed the wheel well liners. Relocated the battery to the trunk. Replaced 4 tires. Wired my headlights back up. Installed the hood. Drove it a good distance tonight and developed a steady oil leak. Not sure where from. That may have to wait until Saturday.

The service engine light is because I'm missing a knock sensor. The one from the old engine had a wire ripped out, and the new engine was missing one

Good work he's coming back Alive
Knock sensor? On a 4cyl?
Eclipse comes with them I think

Yeah it has 2 on the back of the block (firewall side)

Drove it 30 miles and it sprung a rapid oil leak. It's home now. I topped off the oil and added UV leak dye. I found the area it's coming from, but not exactly what's leaking
Hard to see, but between the alternator and the block, you can see the oil glowing under the black light.
It's coming out of the timing belt cover, above the oil filter housing

Check the gasket behind the camshaft gear

I had the upper timing belt cover off and it was dry. It's like near the rear balance shaft seal. Either that or front crank seal I think. I need to get it back to the shop and take the entire cover off

The car is now back at the shop. Closer diag of the oil leak begins in about 30 minutes. I went ahead and got the balance shaft seal, front crank seal, and oil pump gear seal. I'm guessing it's one of those

Hopefully it is and it isn't coming from the oil pump gasket. I doubt anyone will have it in stock.
I think I fixed it. I decided to play it safe and leave it at the shop tonight. I'll qc it more tomorrow. It was leaking from behind the hydraulic belt tensioner. I also swapped the knock sensor I needed from the 6g72.

Left one is oil pressure sensor right one is knock sensor
