b20a lean

[A18A]

My car now has that b20a lean that some people get when swapping in their b20as, where the side of the engine sits lower, like this:

(cheers bullard for the pic )

I think it has only just recently happened cause last week, or the week before, i never noticed it.. anyways, I thought the side of the motor just some how fallen, but I don't see how that could happen.. then i started to think maybe the middle of the motor has been pushed up?? cause my tow hook does often hit the road, and some times violently when driving out of drive ways/flying over speed bumps/bumpy roads, could all that be damaging/pushing the crossmember upwards causing the motor to sit like that? if not, what else could it be? engine mounts are all in good condition too

Check the bolts in the front mount to block

Oh, the famous B20A lean

I did have this too but I solved the problem when I made my front custom mount. If you ever find out what's the problem, let us know!

At least you have OEM B20A cars laying around for you to compare.

well, i guess the middle of the motor did 'rise' up, see:



the hole from the dizzy cap was always there, but not the wear from the dizzy mount

have you tried loosening the left mount, then loosening the others then setting the motor back up and retighten... there is a procedure in the factory manual for setting the motor to least vibrations etc...
