Re: (NABeastRR)
Did you cut the hood webbing at all? I cut my hood webbing near the timing belt and also the VC, and its not an issue.
Nice work on the valve cover btw. I plan to cut and modify a stock one. I think if I cut the intake side and remove about 1/2" and weld it back on the hood will shut. Of course its easier with a jdm or jdm style hood

It's always a good idea to avoid sharp 90deg edges when modifying the unibody. The metal should also be layered and tacked in a similar fashion to OEM. butt welding is not enough!
If anyone is interested I can take a picture of how I did mine THE SECOND TIME around (after almost having to scrap the car due to cracks) however I suggest NOT [freak]ing with the unibody unless you absolutely have to.

Crazy!
Na beast did you delete the balancer shaft belt? The crank pulley slides in a half an inch! That's what I did and a sledge hammer worked great. I can't remember if you did it or not.
Also, my crank pulley is really close to the frame rail too

All that cutting and welding isn't necessary in a CRX...

Re: (88ED8)
yes vtecnician i did move it in a half inch BUT i only had a hammer & then said hmm grind the metel down a lil get it to clear 
now im scared if i go buy a sledge it will just break anyways , soo JUST in case i need a back up plan. This is my fault i should have gotten a sledge instead of trying to hurry threw. 
or just put it in & see what happens its tight. I couldnt even change my belt if i had to
