Because this is stronger than grounding to a stud on the head (which we regularly snap when putting the rocker cover back on).


Doesn't make a difference with regards to the ground. I have a daihatsu with a dizzy, and that doesn't have a ground on the rocker cover too.[/QUOTE]

the point is ,why is the valve cover which is not electrically continuous to the block be grounded by honda from the factory.

does the daihatsu have the same setup,ie DOHC,same leads position,timing belt or chain,etc?
