Is there a bolt on engine ground strap
It is a ground strap to ground the engine block to the frame. a broken ground strap could result in improper electrical grounding for ignition and other electrical parts
Yes, I believe it is on the back of the passenger side cylinder head.
There are 3 different grounds. Engine to body ground. Engine to frame ground. Engine to battery ground.
On the engine block.
They generally bolt the ground cable directly to the engine block.
If you mean the hole that is tapped 3/8-16, it is often used for a ground strap connecting from the block to the firewall.
What is the proper name for the braided cable that runs between the fire wall and the back of the engine where the head is located on a 6.0 diesel It is a ground strap. it provides a ground between the engine and the body.
The ground strap on a 1997 Chevy Blazer 4.3 Vortec is located along the bottom of the engine near the frame. It ensures that electricity flows properly through the entire vehicle.
The ground strap is the battery cable that connects from the negative battery post to ground, usually the chassis.
The Negative Battery Cable Is The Engine Ground. If You Are Looking For A Body Ground, Check From The Positive Cable To The Body Of The Car You Will Find The Car Is Grounded To The Engine Also. If You Find Your Body Is Not Showing Ground You Can Run A Strap ( cable ) Frome The Engine And The Body Making Sure On The Firewall, Ect You Have A Good Clean Connection. Hope This Helps
My buddy did the same thing. It was a ground strap from firewall/frame to the engine had broke when he lowered the engine to remove the top bolts. I have seen the ground strap go from frame to one of the bellhousing bolts. Check the wires at the coil too-they may of come off/loose when you lowered the engine or reached behind it.
