What are these 3 grounds for? I broke one of them during my heads/cam swap. How screwed am I?

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?

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.

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.

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.
