hey guys
I was poking around on the internet looking for borescopes to permit images and videos of cylinder walls, valves, and piston heads. There were a couple of long discussions with lots of impressive photos on the "BeechTalk" forum. They are getting good results using cheapo cameras like these:

and
http://www.chinavasion.com/product_...n-camera-usb-wand-digital-camera-with-lights/
These cameras are plugged into a lap top with a USB connection. The BeechTalk group is building a nice archive of photos with discussion that is really useful. Mike Busch among others recommends frequent borescope use to detect damage before it causes a major problem, and as a better diagnostic tool than the standard compression test. For these prices, its worth a try
