I bought a 98 integra gsr with b18c swap in it and there were no grounds on the valve cover. There are two bolt holes open. One is on top of cam gears and one is to the left a little lower about engine head high. I know one of them is a ground hole but I don't know which one. I don't know what the other one is for. Can anybody help?

I would think either bolt hole could be a ground. if you run the wire there it will still be grounded.

See picture, both holes (and their purpose) are shown.

thanks for the picture, but my valve cover is for a jdm b18c and that power steering hole is on the back of valve cover, not the front. Now where the ground is on this picture is one of the holes, but there is another hole that is shown in picture about 2 inches down and 1 inch to the left. It is colored silver in the picture. That is what I am trying to figure out.

oh wow never mind....that ground hole is the valve cover bolt...FAIL... lol alright thanks, but I still don't know what that little silver thing is for.

better off grounding directly to the head and not the valve cover considering the valve cover is sandwiching a rubber gasket and the grommets are ruber as well. Other wise the stock honda ground ( bolt hole on front of VC, silver in pic above)

Okay... well in tha case what is the hole that the ground is currently hooked up to used for

that ground is not even necessary as long as you have a good tranny to frame ground

I would completely disagree with that.
