Automotive Engine Remote Visual Inspection

After an auto tech used a breaker bar to remove a spark plug on a Chrysler 3.8 L V6 engine, examination of the plug revealed that its ceramic body had been cracked and tiny pieces were missing. While some of the pieces were found on the cylinder head plug seat, only a visual inspection of the combustion chamber could determine whether any shards had fallen in through the spark plug hole.

The 6.9 mm diameter insertion tube of RF System Lab's VJ-ADV video borescope fit easily through the spark plug hole, and the VJ-ADV's 4-way joystick articulation control allowed the technician to aim the camera and zoom in on the missing pieces of the spark plug. While inside the combustion chamber, the technician did a full inspection of the piston dome, cylinder walls and valves, documenting the condition of each component using the built-in image and video capture capabilities of the VJ-ADV video borescope.

"Our company has used borescopes for a long time, and we have used just about every type there is out there, but this scope is truly special. Great price and a top quality product with the lowest cost of ownership for a borescope I have ever seen."
