yet...the use of that bore scope on your cell phone, its still an interesting bit of technology use. and occasionally you see silicone sealant where its squeezed out of the gasket seal and dried ,
with excess sealant sticking out a bit from the gasket-ed sealing areas and causing very minor potential port restriction.

drain your oil , and you can use the scope and look at the cam, pistons and bore walls etc, thru the oil pan drain hole, or pull a spark plug and inspect the valve or piston condition

a tool like this, with its 1/4" lens and cable lets you remove the spark plug and lets you closely inspect the piston and valves at least giving you some better info on the condition in the combustion chamber, its also good once the oil pan plugs been removed to inspect what you suspect to be lower end rotating assembly conditions in many cases.
I bought one and while its not used daily its a great help when you really want to inspect things before dis-assembly, as for example if you want to know if a salvage yard engines a two or four bolt block, without pulling the oil pan
that looks neat ,

but that harbor freight version above appears to be a bit to large in the tip diam, to be really useful for inspections
if you want one thats small enough to push into spark plug and oil pan drain holes theres other options
(I went and looked at the HF version as I suspected theres no comparing them)
the harbor freight versions fine for some applications but the version above is small enough to work thru spark plug holes and oil pan drain plug holes, and down into lifter gallery's thru push rod access and drain holes, making it far more useful, and the price difference is not so large as to make the less expensive version with its limitations really attractive, in my opinion
