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. -- Stuart MacMillan Manager, Case Program 800-909-8244 ext. 8208 Fax: 206-269-6360 Getting your share of the Net yet? http://cobaltgroup.com http://UsedEquipNet.com |
