LSVTEC to big for stock hood
 
I have a 91 civic hatch, and i have a lsvtec in it, but the engine is to big and sits to high to use a stock hood, right now the bottom side of the hood is shaved down almost all the way and it still hits the valve cover when i close it, anyone got any suggestions, im using the hasport mounts, anyone know of a hood that will work that is a little taller, thanks for the help

put 4 washers under the driverside mount. You basically put them inbetween the hasport mount and the mount on your block. It makes the engine sit a tad lower.

Or you can put 2-3 washers under your hood mount bolts, rasing the hood a little
