borescope size? What fits in the glow plug hole?

[serpa4]

Was looking at a 5.8 mm bore scope but someone said it was too big. Anyone know what size will fit through glow plug hole?

I know the Snap On unit will not fit (dont know size). It would not fit through the injector hole either.

Found a 4.3mm but not sold (cannot find) in the US.

I used I think it was a 3 mm borescope to look at my piston when it went.

I went through the injector hole.

3mm, dam small and probably pretty $$$?
What's easiest to pull and look through, glow plug or injector?

 

[JoshH]

Glow plug is easier to pull, but the injector isn't much more work, especially on the passenger's side. I'm not exactly sure how much the borescope I used was. I borrowed it from work, but I'm sure it wasn't cheap. Here are the pics I took with it.

I did some looking after seeing the name stamp in the pictures (I couldn't remember the brand of the scope before), and I believe the one I was using was the 3.9 mm Everest VIT VideoProbe XL PRO.

Anyone have a head they could mic up for us?

There is an El Cheapo they sell on Ebay for $150, but it does not have good enough imaging. Pro-something?







Uh, WAIT! It works great, anyone wanna buy it? (my Ebay voice)

A 3.5 mm will just squeeze through the glow plug hole.

They have the 3.5mm but not cheap.

I have a VOscope videostic, video screen bore scope. cant remember if it fits through the inj hole or not? Been too long. Its way to big for a GP hole though. Snap-On has a new video scope thats pretty small, not sure what exactly.

Snap-on is 8.5 mm and Mac has one that is 7mm. 7mm is ok for injector hole IIRC. If your gonna spend a little coin try to find used medical ones that articulate and have a light source, not one of those crap one with mirrors to look back and to the sides.

The one I used wasn't medical, but it was fully articulating. It had a little joystick control to move it electronically and a fiber optic light also. Worked really well for looking in the cylinder.
