    Put the valve cover on to help us out a bit. It looks ok to me tho.

          Why dont you tip the engine foward and connect the front mount and see how it looks.

            best advice so far
            also, you're suppose to loosely install all 4 bolts through all 4 mounts and then tighten/torque away. that should fix your problem.

                  It's supposed to tilt backwards a little, but not quite that much. Use the proper rubber cross-member mount and the proper rear metal engine mount bracket. You need to use the original Accord rear mount(s) for your badge. If you have an EX/SE you need to use the EX/SE rear mount and if you have the DX/LX then use the DX/LX mount. It does make a difference.

                    just agreeing with him, it makes a difference of like an inch and a half, if you have an LX/DX and used an EX rear bracket it would pull the motor back like that...

                      All of that will work but only with a bit of pursuation and plus just a few decent launches and you will finish the stock mounts off. Yes, the motor is supposed to tilt back, but not to that extreme. I would recommend that you buy the Hasport motor mount kit... it's worth it.

                        hasport doesnt make a motor mount kit, hes stuck using all the original stock mounts. for us, the only thing he can do to stiffen the mounts is manually fill them with liquid polyurethane, its a common DIY for motor swappers.

                          did you use your stock mounts off of your engine, or the one with the swap? your car is automatic and if you used the manual mount on the pass side itwill do that

                            Your engine looks okay. The engine was tilted by design for performance. If it was that out-of-whack, your exhaust and intake would be messed up.

                              mines tilted like that. swapped ex's. switch to lx rear mount and bracket if you wanna fix it a little. or just deal with it. and yes you will crack mounts. i busted mt poly mounts that didnt over lap on both sides
