Anywhere thats metal and itll bolt to. Its only so long so wont be to far out. Should be a stud sticking out without a nut at looks of it

Okay thank you. I'll have a look, the car cranking but not starting because this isn't connected

Any idea how I'll get the bolt to the coolant flange back in? The one closer to the back of the engine, stupid metal clip or something in the way right over the bolt hole

Is the metal got a hole in it? If not can it be moved or persuaded to move so bolt can go in

yes got a hole in it, but the metal is further away from the coolant flange bolt hole so the bolt won't bite into the head because of it

Have you tried pushing the metal with a srewdiver or something the trying the bolt. As soon as it bites itll go.
Or look at the metal clip and see if its being pushed out because something behind

I'll try pushing it out the way and I've also rebuilt the engine

Engine back together and running

Still can't get that Earth strap anywhere as I don't know where it would go.

Engine got a misfire(probably the earth strap)

That noise seems to go away when the engine revving. That misfire needs sorting out. Compression tested the engine and it read about 195-200 on all

What you's think?

Cant look at photos or video so cant say. Compressions good though across the board.
