i installed my spacers (skunk2) an took out the OEM strut bar since it didnt fit. A week after i installed it i opened my hood for the hell of it an noticed 2 scratch/rub marks on the sides of the manifold an the bottom of my hood.(since they have been rubbing) was wondering hoow i could fix it or what you guys (with experience) have done. thanks

 

I just let mine rub, it will self clearance itself.

 

Sand down the top of the plenum?
Put some felt pads on the hood?
Take off the Skunk2 and get a spacer that fits?

At one time Motordyne sold a kit to space the hood up a bit in the back for people that wanted to run a 1/2" spacer and a strut bar. The downside is everyone and their mother will tell you your hood is open.

Not too many options here.

 

Go with a motordyne 5/16" ... retain your stock strut bar and no rubbing.

 

I have the same spacer, I've just let mine rub and am going to get a strut bar that will work with it.

 

yeah i have the skunk 2 also, my manifold and intake rubs on the hood too, any solutions?
