The camera just starts into a plug hole and binds.  I bet one could

slightly shave the camera dia to get it in just fine.  I don't yet have the

unit charged or AA's on hand, so I don't know how good a view of the piston

and valves you can get from the plug hole or with the mirror.

Wouldn't it would be great if you could get it all the way in there and get

it stuck!  :>)

Can those experienced in close inspection of cylinders and corrosion 

comment on

the potential of this dental camera?  http://tinyurl.com/m5kscj  It would seem

to offer detailed, closeup, remote inspection, but never having used any

borescope I don't trust my own judgment.

This seems to be a week of internet problems. I cannot use tinyurl 

successfully on this or any other link in a message. Can I ask that you 

post the raw link instead of going through the Netherlands?

This may look terrible:

If it's broken, you can cut each little piece of the URL from this message

into the address window and it should work.

I had to chuckle about "130,000,0" Mega pixels..  Below, it does state a

more reasonable 1.3 Mega pixels.

Ralph, you might have to be the guinea pig and let us know how it works out.  It doesn't look practical to me but I have very little experience with borescopes in general.

BTW,

There are other places to buy similar cameras:

I searched on Google for "dental oral usb camera".

When doing cylinder wall inspections using a boroscope  it's best to look at the wall at 90deg.Spark plug holes may not be in the center of the cylinder it is nice to have a flexible probe / pivoting mirror /camera view at least 90deg to probe shaft as this allows you to see the valves. Cheers

That's partly why the before-mentioned dental usb camera seemed it might

work: it's mounted at a right angle to the probe, fairly high magnification,

made for close work...and cheap.



Another one with 4 million pixels is at http://tinyurl.com/mcvhw8  $159

including shipping from China.  Connect to a $400 laptop and you've got a

nice inspection device. Our manufacturing doesn't have a chance.
