3 grounds on the back of the driver side head.. What are these 3 grounds for? I broke one of them during my heads/cam swap. How screwed am I?

Re: 3 grounds on the back of the driver side head.. Ok, well there are 3, but 2 wires go to one bolt. So thats what I need, an o-ring wire clamp. Now do those HAVE to be soldered on?

Re: 3 grounds on the back of the driver side head.. They should just crimp on. The connectors can be had at any auto parts or hardware store. I've seen anywhere from 1 to 3 grounds on the heads of various cars.

Re: 3 grounds on the back of the driver side head.. I know one of them is for the fuel pump. I broke one too during a head install and just re crimped and soldered a longer piece of wire in to get some more slack.

Re: 3 grounds on the back of the driver side head.. There are 3 grounds, and as others have said, two of them go to the same bolt. The one that is all by itself is the ground for the PCM. The reason I know is because the wire came out of the ring terminal after I had the heads on. There was barely enough room for me to get my hands back there and to get a longer piece of wire and solder it to the bare wire, and ground the wire to another bolt.
