so i have this app called "geek" and it has mostly chinese stuff but a lot of it is good quality nicnac stuff.. i did find a borescope for about $8 that plugs into usb and works like a champ lights and all. then i searched for a 5.5mm borescope and they have them (size we need to get into the cylinder through injector hole).

So i figured id let the community know of where to get a fairly good working borescope for engine inspection for cheap!!!

i w et agead and purchased the one in the pic and will do a write up on it.

Mike if its possible to make this a global post so everyone sees it and can use the info please do!

Hmm, yea I spent 300 on the harbor freight inspection camera and it works good but haven't been able to try it on the truck cylinder yet.

It has it's place but I dunno how many things I can really use it on to justify how much I spent on it...

Need to see a pic of a cylinder - pull an injector already - lol

Sorry to hear

got the 5.5mm borescope in, 2 meter. it is as good or better than the 7mm i got and gave to my brother. the software that came with it works well too!!

friend of mine is sending me a couple galaxy s3's to repair and ill put one together as a toolbox kit. ill also send screenshots of it in use when i get it all together.

Interested to see the picture quality

check out the first page, i posted a pic of the scope looking at my motherboard from about 2" away. the light is coming from the borescope camera as well. im satisfied with it. for $7-12 you cant lose when using it to see the health of the piston or other uses that happen infrequently

 

That was a pic of an injector hole. ^^ 

I couldnt get one of the cylinder as it was too dark and grainy. Much Much worse.

Just an FYI of what I found. Like I said your model might be better - it would be nice to find one that worked - but for me it was $20 spent for nothing.

More or less get what you paid for... $20 bucks isn't a whole lot of quality there.
