well if a connector (gotta find right type maybe just a nut bolt to tie the
eyelets together)
inside the split tube were used then a tech could then unbolt & devide &
conquer
right now each & every exposed ground wire on the engine
seems brittle from engine heat & open to oxidation
A single heavy guage say 8-10 wire covered in thermal split tube tied  to
the engine block
would seem to solve the degration issue & the tech could if desided just
fish the 6
indivdial wires with eyelets out of the tube & trouble shoot

using split tube thermal sheild there would no longer be any thing to cut
