I have searched and havent really found the answer I am looking for. I am trying to clean the bay up alittle and wanted to relocate the ground that is on the VC to a nice location on the head right below the VC and the fuel rail. Will this cause any problems? If so where can I relocate it to? Also can I relocate the gorund going to the intke mani. from the top of it to under to hide it alittle better? Thanks.
Here is a pic of the ground I am speaking of. Its the one going to the VC.

the reason there is a ground on the VC is because it contains a stored electrical charge when the engine is running but it is also cut off from the rest of the motors grounding because of its gasket. if it is left off completely there will be a small residual charge on the vc which I have seen lead to ignition problems. For a clean looking engine bay, I would run a small grounding wire from the back of the VC in parallel with another grounding wire from the head.
