"I tend to heat mechanical connections up and fill with solder "
Stacking crimp lugs on a bolt is extremely poor practice. A solid ground requires (at least) two solder lugs bolted to the chassis adjacent to each other with a 14-16 ga. bus wire between them. All star grounds should be soldered to those lugs, and nothing stacked or crimped.
