I think that the difference when you carried out your test with the resistor plugs was that they were not grounded to the engine block but to the ignition modules, hence the possible requirement to have a good ground between the modules and the engine block.
Hello MichaelThank you for your reply, The information is very helpful for my Mercedes engine project.I mistakenly thought you made the discs with an interference press fit, It appears you have bonded (glued) them together with Loctite 648. Is this correct?Am I correct to think you make the second disc with a 5/10 oversize bore to give some small clearance for the Loctite 648 ?. I am sorry Michael, but I did not understand what you meant by "check runout and then turn the second disk to secs." After your press the two discs together in the vise, do you return the parts to the lathe to check the runout of the two parts and twist the two parts to correct any misalignment. How much time do you have to correct any misalignment before the Loctite starts to harden?What is the diameter and width of the Loctite joint? and how wide are the discs?Sorry to have so many questions. You will understand, it is important for me to correctly understand the process of assembling a straight crankshaftThank YouMike

Lets see
You should only ground the shield at one end, if its grounded at both ends it can act as a conductor and induce voltages into the conductors its protecting.
Hello MichaelThank you for your patience. I now understand how you did it.Thanks againMike
