if you have an 8mm bolt greater in diameter than a 4ga wire, wow new shit.
And Justagsr hes a wiring genius.

Honestly, it sounds like you don't really understand what that ground point is for. It's really a local ground return path for ignition energy, and that's all it really needs to be. It isn't a high current return path for something like the starter motor, which is why Honda didn't see fit to use some massive ground cable routed directly back to the battery.

Seriously man, I'm done arguing this. 4 gauge wire is 5.2mm diameter (wait, isn't that less than 8mm...?), and if I remember correctly the stock B16A ground cable is actually 6 gauge (it's been about 7 years since I've owned a Honda).

Either way, 5.2mm is less than 8mm.


Edit: Nah, 6mm seems too small. Must be 4 gauge.

What are you trying to say? not making sense.. either way you are still grounding through the head itself.. using a valvecover bolt your ground path goes through the valvecover, then through the cam cap bolt to, guess what the HEAD. and thats using a little stock 10gauge wire.. use a 4gauge wire from the frame to the power steering bolt or another point on the head directly and guess what, Still grounding through the HEAD!.. WOW who woulda guessed?? the difference is a more direct grounding point to the head rather than going through other "dissamalar metals" to get to ignition system/sensors. and all while using a larger diamater wire. What do you thing will work better??

I'm saying that it doesn't matter because it works the same, so this is a stupid argument. This started with the completely wrong "sorry guys but grounding the valve cover does absolutely nothing for you".

Fuck this is a dumb argument.

ohh man no ground

Keep it clean, I'm going to start purging posts if this breaks down into threats and name calling.


Edit:

Too late..

Okay, keep it clean so I don't have to purge anything else.

Well I was going to put some things to point out the obvious idiots here, but out of respect for this forum already being a breading ground for morons on computers I am just going to leave my 2 cents out. But anyways, just use the ground shown in the first pic, hell add more if you want the more grounds the better. Just make sure the grounding points are clean and good contact has been made with the body/engine/trans and the connections used on the grounding wire are just as good.

Dough_Boy.

This is what i tried to say. fabrik8 answered op's question then the morons come in and tell him he is wrong.

LOL this is not what you were trying to say.. you were simply trying to be a smart ass and got shuned.
