Just take the plastic cam cover off or cut the webbing on your hood.

Re: ZC SWAP Cant shut hood (cloud806)

don't mangle the hood. add washers to the driver's side motor mount to lower the engine. That's what i did when i had an ef w/ a zc swap & it worked well. It's safer to keep the timing belt cover on & why would you want to cut something if you don't have to?
