[DML] Re: Engine cover bracing

["Matt" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

>From what I've seen, the amount of bowing depends on how your engine 
cover hinges are adjusted.  If you have your hinges adjusted so that 
the cover is more toward the front of the car, it will bow more.  As 
you might expect, if you adjust your hinges so that the cover is 
adjusted more toward the rear of the car, it will bow less.  Maybe 
you can find a happy medium.  I know with my car, I couldn't adjust 
it so that it wouldn't hit the rear fascia without it bowing a 
little bit atleast.
