I'm in the middle of changing my timing chain and noticed that the ground that connects to the center bolt on the valve cover is broken. It seems like it could be a pretty simple fix but I was wondering if any one else has ran into this problem and what they did about it.

Any help or ideas would be great, thanks.

 

Fix it! Your local hardware store has the needed parts in the wiring section --- one of the easiest fixes on a Mini.

 

Thanks, I grabbed the stuff I need from Lowe's but sadly I think I have a bigger problem now.

 

Do NOT run the car with it disconnected as it can fry the ECU as I know dealer techs that have done this.
