This spacer is an oil filler tube from a G8 with a 3.6, it measures 25mm.

It fits right into our LLT oil filler, and just screw your existing oil cap or breather on.

I think you've got the solution!
I got my eng.cover out of mothballs and checked- in the back, the cover is that form fitting black felt (thin) cardboard stuff. You'd have to cut the back 1/4 of this off now that the IM is raised- the part of the cover that you normally can't see, but if you do a good job no one would even notice.
Its held in place by 2 trim retaining pins (the push/pull kind) on the top of the IM. The back of the primary eng.cover has 2 hooks that slide under the black felt, and then attaches to the pin and under the oil fill cap in front.
Now the front will likely sit up a bit higher when attached as planned, but I just laid my cover on top of the raised IM and closed the hood without difficulty.
