is the valve cover ground completely necessary or will the car not run without it??

yes i know its a complete noob question..

so what

 

it will run without it, its good to have
but really barely affects anything
why dont you have one?

Just curious if I understood the question correctly, the ground that attaches to the valve cover? My car wouldn't start without it attached...are we thinking of the same ground?

 

your car sucks then
mine didnt have one at first
and it ran fine
not having one ground will nto affect your car

 

lol, just curious, ya my car sucks

 

i didnt mewan your car sucks really i was kidding
but the only reason you might have probelsm is if your missing like 90 percent of the grounds in the engine bay
which would be ahrd to do

i am shaving my engine bay and did the radiator support first and accidently welded the hole for it shut

yes im dumb

thanks for the info

 

nah u don't need it. it will work fine without it. just reground some wires elsewhere like on the block.

 

mine didnt start with that ground either...hmmm

 

then u might want to check all your grounds. u dont have to have that specific ground on the valvecover for your car to start. if u have a ground on the block for instance. then the head is automactically grounded, because its mated to the block. its pretty basic electrical

 

I wouldn't run without it, i'm sure its there for a reason.

 

thats a sweet diagram

 

i have no clue

my girlfriend changed her valve cover from the obd1 ls to the obd2, had the ground there and the car wouldn't start, couldn't even pop the clutch, moved the ground and it fired right up.

 

I moved mine to make it a little cleaner, car runs just as good with it grounded on the valve cover.

 

My car wouldnt run with out it but i dont have a ground to the block so i think if maybe u have the block ground then sure it will work but if not then it prolly wont crank

I love it.

 

that's odd. alot of you are saying that it won't start. all my cars didn't have it there. like i said b4, i regrounded mine elsewhere.

 

Well..Mine does not have one and starts and runs great...Idk
