bad idea. you want to ground the head. here is what were are looking at. Dissimilar metals will produce a small voltage between themselves and eventually eat the metal away. Ever wonder why you can't connect a copper water pipe to a steel water pipe? So my adding a ground strap, you are encouraging the electrons to take the path of least resistance instead eatting the head and case halves. Why there is not a groundstrap on the passanger side is puzzling to me. But put a ground strap in place. More the merrier. One from each head to the block and from teh block to the car chassis. matthew Matthew Pollard "Racing with the wind and flirting with death Dept.
