Waiting for parts...so I decided to crack open the cowl and fix my wiper issue... passenger side had about 30 degrees of slop. Whipped out the big blue glue gun and put a fat tack and fixed it.
Now I need to find new screws, speed nuts, rig a cabin air filter and replace the rubber seal. Too bad nobody sells a package.
Also tested my oil pressure fixes...fail... probably worse...drove about 5 miles to warm up the engine (yesterday I did rear main, oil pump, pickup and pan seal) and as soon as I went to idle it dropped to zero and check gauges chimed. Then it wouldn't pick back up to 40...hard bumps and whipping the Jeep left around hairpin turns would get it back. Pulled the sensor...oil inside the new wire plug...ordered a dial gauge and one recommended on Amazon from previous posts. No lifter noise. Engine is healthy-ish. If the dial gauge shows zero I'm dropping the pan and replacing the crank bearings.
