I will do, it was a quick video, I meant zt, but I have a zr as well, had zr for a while, zt is newer so am unfamiliar with the kv6 engine on the 190, will try what you recommend, hopefully will get somewhere soon, thanks 😀

What I would recommend next is that you remove the OSF wheel arch liner, put a socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt and see if you can feel resistance commensurate with compression.

ZR?
Your first post's title says ZT 190.
Can you confirm please Terry?
