Borescope

Bill Ringer · 12-12-2015, 12:19 PM

I am looking for recommendations for a borescope that will fit into the spaces no larger than a spark plug hole, reasonably priced and will work well. These have been around for a long time now and over the years they will get better and many times cheaper. Any recommendations on recent purchases will be appreciated.
Thanks
Bill Ringer

I saw one of these this summer when I went to the Oshkosh air show. Pretty cool with the articulating end. You could stick in through a spark plug hole and look all around inside. They demo'd it to me on an aircraft head and I could see the valves through the plug hole.

If you need just a low buck one this has gotten myself bye a few times.
They have a couple different types if you do a search.

We use the Harbor Freight product at my work,and I'll admit I was skeptical when we got it,but it's a decent tool that works pretty good.

Bill I have had several of them. The one from Autel is by far the best for the money. Real small head and long cable, it also comes with a mirror Attachment That goes on the end and allows you to see the valves. Big screen display, and will take pictures.
