    Valve cover replacement job - grounding straps?

    Guys,

    Edit: the title should read "Valve cover gasket replacement job".

    Yeah I know, I should've taken pictures. I have a 2003 w/ manual transmission. I'm replacing the valve cover gasket, plugs, and ignition coil. I took off parts and put them all in a bin. Either I don't have those two ground straps that I've seen in other videos or else I misplaced both of them. It's the short wire w/ the right angle bend.

    Can someone chime in with a quick answer?

    The ground straps bolt from the coil to the valve cover stud. If you don't have bolt in coils there is nothing to attach them too.
