hood/engine clearance problem
i recencently changed my clutch and now my engine is hitting my hood bad. i have a b20 swap and it never did this before i changed clutch. my question is there a certain way to put back motor mounts like at an angle. like should i jack the back part of motor up to postion engine so it wont hit? i didnt do the swap my brothers friend did so i dont know if the b20 needs adjustmint to fit right or something.

Re: hood/engine clearance problem
Are all the mounts actually in? Your engine as in the valve cover, or the intake manifold is hitting the hood? Be more specific.
If you jack up the back of the motor, nothing will happen, assuming you have the rear mount installed. If not, it will change the angle of the motor, but you obviously can't drive that way.

Can you PLEASE resize these BEFORE you upload them? I have a 24" monitor and can only see half the pic before I have to scroll.
What you've posted doesn't tell us anything past that your engine is hitting the hood. Take clear and SMALLER pictures of the motor mounts. Specifically the rear one.
