Here is the HF coupon for the borescope. It appears to be current.
Only $69.99 with coupon 38904696
Let me know if you need me to mail you the coupon they mailed me.

i got the HF one, $100 or less and it has a wireless screen that detaches so you can fasten the camera somewhere and then drive the vehicle to monitor. the lighted camera is very small.

Also, just picked up the Milwaukee bore scope. There is no way in heck it will fit in the injector hole. Anyone have a small bodied bore scope to lend out?!

Milwaukee has two sizes of borescope. I got the smallest end one and it will fit in the injector hole.

The one I have(Milwaukee), dad and I have had for a long time. That is the one I was referring to.

Kinda sounds like I just went out and bought it, thats not the case.

 

[Jeepsinker]

Come on Gimp, only 20 days left til' the rally. You got this sucker up and running again yet?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Just found my micrometer tonight! The injector tips are .355 and in trying to measure the hole on the old head, I think its .365. It comes in at an angle, so I tried but am not sure I got it right.

I was offered a camera with an o-d of .390, so I guess I am still sol.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Rusty, could you find a model number for me please?

 

[Jeepsinker]

Have you tried stickin the camera down in there even with the head being too large? It may go down far enough to let you see what the problem is even if it won get into the cylinder. Just a thought.

 

[gimpyrobb]

I have. I've also thought about leaving everything hooked up and just pulling the head nuts to lift everything up. I should be able to peer in and see whats going on that way too.

Loosen the head nuts and then turn it over slowly and see if the which head, if either, lifts up at the interference point. If they do not lift up it may not be a piston to head issue. If one lifts up at least you know where to go.

This. Was there any machining done on the heads? What was protrusion? Where in Ohio are you located. I can bring my snap on borescop and dial indicator with me. I am leaving tomorrow Am From Ft. Knox to Lima, Ohio.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Thanks for the offer, but I will not be home tomorrow. Do you know what size the head on your scope is? I haven't found many small enough to work!

 

[m-35tom]

did you have someone hold the clutch in to see if it was the trans? did you remove the 3 bolts on the IP drive gear? is there a big hole in the side of the block that you didn't notice??

if all are no, you would know what 2 cylinders it could be by the position it stops turning. but in any case you know something is in there, just pull the heads, you can reuse the gaskets.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Everything is in neutral. I will mark the ip gear, loosen the bolts and make sure it turns, then the only thing left is motor.

 

[m-35tom]

the HF scope i have is .355 so it may just fit, but it will not let you look around like you need to.

 

[gimpyrobb]

My mechanic buddy let me borrow his provision 636, it fits with loads of room. I should know something tonight.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

It is tonight now almost tomorrow. Figure it out?

 

[m16ty]

Looks like you've found a scope that will fit but I wonder if you could also remove the intake and go beside a open valve to get a scope in?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Must be busy scoping out the situation.

 

[Westech]

Busy ... Ummmm hmmmmm

Ouch!
