Hey guys, I have uploaded a few pic's, I need someone to tell me if the engine earth lead/strap on the engine is in the right spot.

I have put an red arrow where it connects on.
I had engine work done, and the earth strap seems wrong too me, its connected to a bracket that is painted which holds a wiring harness thing.

So if anyone has a DOHC, if anyone could tell me where you're earth strap is connected, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

And before I forget, Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

should be on the block (anywhere), not the valve cover.

oh ok, so looks like its in the wrong spot.
Reason I'm asking, is after the engine work was done, a small amount of electrolysis was found in the cooling system, which it wasn't there before.

And I want to get this right as I'm gettin a new radiator fitted.
Guys need more help deciding on this as well.

It currently has a aluminum radiator with plastic tanks, was repaired with epoxy glue, but starting to leak again.

I've got an option of going for a copper/brass one which will fit? In the photo it looks the same as the aluminum one

which one would cool better?
