Ok I am just about done with the swap and this may be a stupid question with an easy fix but for some f'd up reason I can't get the rear L bracket and the top tranny mount to line up at the same time. I have all the necessary mounts and brackets but no matter which way I try it I can't get it. This isn't my first swap but the first one on my EK. Someone please help me! I need my car and this is the ONLY THING that has given me trouble.

I've found the easiest way to line them up is to use a chain hoist on top of the engine and a car jack + block of wood under the oil pan. Catch the engine on the car jack, and then it's *somewhat* easy to position it right where you want it using the jack.

Line up the rear mount first.

are u using the correct L bracket and timingbelt side bracket/mount?

Yeah got the side engine bracket from honda and the rear L bracket is from a gsr. I tried to get the rear done first but no matter what I do the top tranny mount is always off by about an inch. Its too far forward. Which makes me wonder if there is a different L bracket that would fit a B series engine but is a different size?

ur mounts wont line up correctly bcuz u are using the WRONG brackets..u NEED 99-00 SI rear L bracket and timing belt side mount bracket

I thought the GSR was the same as the SI rear bracket. Wow. Well that would probably be the reason. I knew it was gonna be something stupid. THANK YOU!

The Si bracket is a fair bit shorter than the GS-R bracket. They aren't all the pricey even from honda.

Yeah I looked around and found the difference. I don't know why but for some reason I thought the gsr would work. All makes sense now. Dealer wants like 60 bucks for one.

SHIATTTT 60$ , i looked for bracks here in bay area. acura wanted 145$ for a rear. the guy must have been blowing smoke up my tookas.
