Engine block ground
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2018 11:02 am
Good morning!
To put it simply, I have had ignition problems over the past several months and I have worked through most if not all concerns mentioned in various threads. The problem seems intermittent and now I am concerned about a grounding issue. This may seem like a stupid question whose answer is intuitively obvious but, where/how is the engine block grounded? I see ground straps for the "generator" and at the starter around the clutch but nothing in diagrams for the block. The alternator grounds to the intake manifold (pretty sure I cleaned and mounted that well on the rebuild.) Shouldn't the block additionally ground to chassis somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
