The ground wire is connected to the battery. The starter seems fine to me, it is just noticeable that there is a lack of compression. Similar to the bent valves sound, just not as severe. The ground is connected to the starter as why the car still cranks. It is grounded on the bolt that mounts the starter to the tranny.

What is pissing me off it that I did 5 head swaps last year and I had no problem what so ever. This time, the valves get bent in a rebuilt head, and compression drops from near perfect to the rebuild range on the other after the other rebuilt head. I gained 5 psi per cylinder in my car after a new HG and valve seals.
