The Ign distributer is hitting the hood when cornering. Is this common? Does it represent a bad engine mount? I have already moved the hood rearward as much as possible & hammered the seam away from the distributor. But it's still contacting the Beru distributor which has lead to a broken rotor. I'm inclined to raise the hood at the back but the lines match up nicely (looks like proper fitment). Thoughts? I can't lower the engine mounts can I?

Wrong engine mount? Wrong dizzy? Wrong dizzy instalation...is it fully home pushed into the head? i think it should, otherwise oil would come out...but do a check.
I'd expect if an engine mount failed the engine going lower not higher.
Dont do any mods, there is no way with original parts that the dizzy makes contact to anything.
