Default b20z hitting hood.

hi, im running a b20z ej8. the motor hits the hood when im at full throttle, and if i let off the clutch too fast.

im using stock mounts and i believe that is why..

my question is will energy suspension mount inserts solve this problem?

thanks ht.

You need a Hasport rear mont to hold that puppy in they make alot more torque you can use inserts to help you but the mount will be 100% better.

im running a stock ls IM. it is the front right of the valve cover that hits the hood.

the a/c bracket is just there. there is no bolt holding it to the mount. but im not sure if that is the problem because a lot of guys run without a/c..

It depends on the person the vibration with time eases down but you can still feel it that whi i always recommend the rear mount with the stocks all the way around or the other 2 inserts. I have an eg the front right corner almost dosent have any paint but on my coupe worked like a charm.
