theres an underskeleton that cause that problem. most likely its hitting your valve cover or unless ur running ps. look at the underskeleton and see whats its hitting and cut it or hit or which ever way u need to do to get rid of it.

How did you "modify" your mount? My motor is in my EG, which I'm pretty sure is the same as an EK, and my hood closes.
