Hood misaligned
I took my hood off to do a head/cam swap and I don't know how to get it realigned correctly with the front bumper. The driver side of the hood aligns ok, but as you get closer to the passenger side the panel gap between the hood and front bumper is way too small, even rubbing into the front bumper when I open the hood.

Agreed. 2 people is almost essential. This is one job I'd never attempt alone. I work alone on virtually everything. R&Ring the hood is one of the few things I've ever asked my wife for her help on while working on the car....

And i told her to leave her fuking phone in the house so she doesn't go on it when there is a minute or two of downtime. All said and done i wouldn't have been able to anglin by myself. Even preparing mentally and i knew i had to bit my tongue.
