Hi
Just to be clear, the oil pipe isn't supposed to be the only earth, but may become so if the "proper" earth is bad or missing.
I remember a 1950's car I was called upon to sort out. The main starter cable had a poor connection, so most of the starter current was trying to go down the oil pipe instead. It got pretty hot !
