Ls/Vtec hood clearence with EG6?
I have a 93 Eg6 with a VIS c/f hood, I just put in a Ls/Vtec (b16 head) and I cannot fit my hood back on. Any one know if I need a new hood or if I can just cut the skeleton on my hood? Any help would be great. Thank you.

does your stock hood fit? if not i dont think your engine is sitting right. how, i dunno. but try trimming the skeleton and see if that helps

I've seen plenty of straight forward swaps that have rubbing issues with the skeleton and the valvecover. To say the motor isn't sitting right w/out seeing any pics, isn't really a solid statement.
I don't know what gen VIS hood you have, but here's someone that had a similar problem: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=572161

Re: Ls/Vtec hood clearence with EG6? (vexx7001)
Thanks for your help. I have all three hasport integra mounts on my car. I think i'll just cut the skeleton. I don't own a stock hood it's hard to say if it will fit. I don't reall like the lifted hood look I'm more about being a sleep this why I'm painting my c/f hood the same color as my car. But thank you for your help again.
