my hood closes and it hits my valve cover... it is a 92 hatch with a b18 in it

 

you could put some washers or spacers on the bolts on the motor mounts so the motor fits lower or you could just cut the webbing out from under the hood where it hits

 

Why???? Are all of your mounts correct?

 

don't cut the webbing, it's there for structural integrity. i would just bang it w/ a hammer, so you just dent the webbing, keeping most of the strength. you could also heat it w/ a torch then hammer, but that will most likely ruin the paint.

 

pop the hood up from the back bro. that should take care of it.

 

adjust the hood or buy new mounts. when my driver side mount busted, it left a nice upward dent on the hood.

 

maybe you are using wrong mounts. it should be fine

good idea....i'll try it, and for the rest they r hasport motor mounts and made to fit the b18 and i cant hit the hood its a VIS Carbon fiber hood, but i'll try the lift from the rear

 

If your motor mounts are shot, this will happen. I have seen a motor where the stud that connects to the mount was stripped out of the side of the block and this caused it to hit the hood too.

 

when i bought my hood for my del sol they said this would happen to a hatch with a b18. My homeboy had the ***** to cut the VIS webbing and then re re-inforce it around the cuts he made with glass. Or just pop it up from the back.

lol...

i know a lot of people with fitment problems on cf hoods on eh hatches with b-series swaps.

 

first off...did the hood ever close before with that swap in it?
or did it just start doing that after the swap?

Cant do much about it, you got the Bseries non friendly hood. Your going to need to cut the webbing, and probably get hood pins. If you dont cut the webbing it will crack over time.

 

It's a known problem with VIS hoods. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=572161

 

hmm, i doubt its the hood. i got a cf hood with a bseries in my ej1 with no hitting problems. i would check the mounts like someone else mentioned.

 

civics were designed more for a b16....the b18 has a taller block by a mm or 2, i ran into the same problem with my swap, i'm about to grind down the under side of the hood in the 2 spots mine hits

 

the new desigin vis hoods WILL NOT CLEAR MOST B18'S SWAP trade your hood for an old style or just cut the webing

 

the problem is it doesnt hit on the actual webbing

 

my bros hood touches on the left front corner(if looking open hood into the engine bay)on the valve cover(stock hood with a b18 in an EH)Its not a huge spot or anything but definatly touches.

 

nah its def the hood all the mounts are BRAND NEW, fck everything on the car is BRAND NEWlol

 

crazy, i would say mounts like everyone else

 

Its probably one of your mounts...Mine did that when my driver side mount took a ****.. It made some really nice marks on my hood and valve cover

 

Same problem with mine, two rub spots on the valve cover. '92 CX with a 94 B18C1 and a VIS OEM style CF hood. Gonna break out the cutting tool to remedy this.

 

STOP SAYING MOUNTS IT NOT THE FKING MOUNTS! Its a common prob. with that swap in that car....
