Borescope (Inspection Camera)
A borescope is a thin camera on a flexible cable used to look inside engines and hidden spaces without taking them apart.
What is Borescope (Inspection Camera)?
It can inspect cylinders through the spark plug or injector hole. It is also used in chassis cavities and behind panels. Some connect to a phone to show and record the image. Borescopes are also useful when checking a used car for hidden rust inside sills.
How it works
A small camera with LEDs at the tip sends live images to a screen.
Why it matters for your car
Do not crank the engine with the camera inside a cylinder. Images can be hard to interpret; compare with known good cylinders.
