I'm prepping my engine compartment for primer and I just realized something, if I paint it now I'm going to have to beat the **** out of it with a hammer. I'm doing a B16A1 into a CRX Si using HCP mounts. Since they are HCP do I still follow the hasport directions for hammering the spot for the alternator pulley, also do I have to do any hammering on the front or rear crossmembers?

EDIT: I'm using the HCP 4 mount kit, not 3

We never hammer the frame. There's no real need for it, just extra clearance. If you use a short enough alternator belt you should have the proper clearance. I don't have teh righth part # on me right now, but you get the idea. Mind you, it may be different because we used Redshift Racing mounts, not Hasport or HCP.

 

with my hasports, i had to bang it out about a quarter of an inch. it DOES not clear without banging. grab a sledge and go at it son.
