Voltage across grounds
When cranking I'm reading 0.6v between the ground on the engine block and my battery ground. Acceptable, or a tad too high?

Re: Voltage across grounds
Acceptable I would say.
Mind you, no harm (and dead easy) to check your battery to body earth (in the same manner) and to fit an "auxiliary" engine to chassis earth strap for a belt and braces approach.

Re: Voltage across grounds
I'll second Ghost there. If your having problems with the starter motor I would look at the terminal that fits on to the starter's solenoid - they're well known for corroding.

Re: Voltage across grounds
Thanks folks. Recrimped and soldered engine block earths and brightened everything up. Starter all good thanks Bubble, just having a few idle niggles.
