Default B20b swap in ek hatch problems.

Hey, i just finished putting my b20b into my ek hatch, and i was having problems getting the motor to align properly. I got all the mounts mounted/bolted in and secured yet the motor is tilted downward on the crankshaft pulley area, I have innovative motor mounts on there and hopefully someone can help me figure it out. Please and thank you.

You MUST use the "99-00 Civic Si driver's side engine bracket. When you place one side by side with the original CRV/B20 bracket, the difference will be obvious. Assuming that your Innovative mount kit is correct and isn't contributing to your problem, then replacing the bracket as I and HondaPartsHero have stated will fix the problem. The factory Honda part number is 11910-P30-000 if you cannot find a used one.

Thank you and hopefully its right, sounds logical since the em1's use a b series engine for ek chasis. but the picture clearly states for b18c5 engines only, and dosent say anything about all b series engines, just that specific one.
