[AT] Curiosity killed the cat...hole in manifold ... Inspection Camera

[Dean VP]

Thanks for all the input guys. It does appear there are some smart phone attachment bore scope options that are far better then the HF unit at much less cost.  I need to do some research on what best fits my needs.  BTW ,the SKU for the HF unit I was looking at is 64623. I am glad I asked or I would have made a poor impulse buy.

Hi Dean:

 

I've never used the Harbor Freight device you're looking at, but I've used a couple others.  Not mine, not recently.  One hooked to a laptop, the other to a smartphone.  I would consider something like that instead.  The HF unit has tiny 2.7" screen with 320x240 resolution.  I just spent 30 seconds on Amazon dot com and already found one for $36 that has WiFi and 1920x1080 resolution.

I don't know about the one you are looking at but I did buy a cheap scope for 9.95  It plugged into a usb port on laptop.  Had to download a program which took awhile to figure out but once I got it working it worked really well.  Better then the Snap On the neighbor has.  Only problem is I don't know the brand or where I put it.

When I get the manifold off of the head, I’m going to first try to verify that there isn’t a blown gasket between the exhaust and intake side of the manifold. That may be difficult due to damage to the gasket when separating the two.   However, assuming it is a hole in the manifold I sure would like to see and know where it is.  Just out of pure curiosity. And to make sure it is the manifold not the head itself.  So… since my curiosity is so high, I am thinking about purchasing the 2.7” Color Digital Inspection camera that Harbor Freight has on sale for $59.99. Could be c considered an extravagant purchase although there have been previous times when I had the need for one.   Would be really nice for looking inside engine combustion chambers before pulling heads along with a few more practical uses.   And since I’m only going to live once….  But have any ATIS members had experience with this particular inspection camera?  And what has been your experience with inspection camera’s in general?  Would hate to buy a useless toy.
