**Can I ground any part of the Engine for the Big 3? PLEASE HELP!!**

[swollen_cu 10+ year member]

Hi, I am trying to finish the last part of the BIG 3.

There are so many screws on the Engine itself!

Can I ground to any part of the engine?

I followed the factory ground to the engine and the screw

is hard to reach, so I would like to ground it somewhere else.

So Can I just ground it to any part of the engine

to get a good ground? Thanks

more or less yes you can one part may be more suitable than others, but keep your wire off your exhaust and try to get a good connection by making sure it isnt corroded or painted

Sand that ground down to bare meatal. Just my opinion.

I went to a bolt on the bottom of the intake manifold. As they said sand it down first a little

Get as close to the alternator as you can. Ground directly to one of the alternator mounting bolts if possible.

stay away from the aluminum items like intake and head IMO. I just did mine and used the engine to belhousing bolt and sanded it with my die grinder real quick

I thought it was better to ground to the engine block than to the alternator mounting bolt.

So which one is bettter?
