I put my type r motor back in my crx and my hood does not close all the way i thought that it was just my clutch cable but the valve cover is hitting the hood i have found another bracket for the driver side engine mount i cant remember if there was a different one i was supposed to use to make the motor sit lower please help Both brackets look the same but not sure cause the other one is on the motor.

 

thats strange what mounts are you using? ive used yonaka mounts in a few ef's, two had b18's one was a hatch one was a crx, ive also used them in a hatch with a b17 gsr. also used a set of hasports in a crx with a b16, no issues with hood clearance...

 

i am using hasport mounts i had the motor in before with no issue then i took it out to get built and then i put it back in and now i have clearance issues i moved the clutch cable but its hitting on the valve cover

 

pic? possible the shop reinstalled the wrong timing mount??

 

i put the motor together after the build and put the motor in but i found that mount earlier today not sure why i had it i think the one that is on the car is the wrong one and i need to switch it out

 

I have a Type R in my 88 CRX with Hasport mounts and the hood hits. I am using a 93 integra engine bracket.

From what i understand most B swaps have hood interference.

 

i have the gsr in my crx with hasport mounts i had to cut the hood and put spacers in to prop the hood up.

 

thats odd so far out of five b swaps (two b16's one b17) i have yet to hit the hood.... but try the bracket if the hood closed before there should be no reason it wont now...

 

from what i read b16 have shorter deak heights making the engine not as tall as the 1.8's

 

well for this guy it fit before he had it built to it should still fit now...

 

did the OP switch mounts? or maybe his timing mount bracket is different. idk

 

he just posted the pic of the mount he found so i assume he will switch them out to see...

 

seems kinda odd that if the engine fit before with no clearence issues he would have such a big gap now. something must have changed with out a doubt. OP if if can get to fit trim the inside webbing of the hood and put spacers in.

 

i am going to try the other bracket that i have i must have just grabbed one and put it on cause they were both on my bench and didnt think nothing of it. Thanks for the input keep u posted and will send new pics when it turns out better

 

i changed out the mount and it made it worse the bracket sat too low and the motor mount would not mount properly so i reinstalled the one that i had on there and my hood still doesnt close i have no idea what changed but i am pissed cause the car got freshly painted looks so good and my hood does not sit right

 

i have a gsr in my ef with hasport mounts. you can put a washer or 2 between the vertical studs but then the engine sits a little cocked. I just cut the rib support out and shimmed the hood
