Subject:Re: Extra Grounds on 1.9l

One trick an engine rebuilder told me about is to run a 10 or 12 guage
wire from the right cylinder head (under PS bracket bolt) to the ground
point on the engine compartment wall that the braided wire goes to from
the left head.  This ensures that the right head is well grounded, since
it is grounded through the stud nuts and exhaust system normally.  The
stud nuts have sealer on them, and the exhaust system corrodes, so the
possibility exists for minute electrolytic currents to flow, or so the
theory goes.

Easy to do, so why not do it.
