Default Using a boroscope or fiberoptic camera to inspect

Just wondering if anyone on here has used this method... I've seen that this method is used on race car engines (F1 to be specific) after every race, so I'm sure it is more than reliable enough for me and my cheap ol' Honda engine

I just wanted to get thoughts and input from anyone about this.

I know generally these items are very expensive ($1,500+) but I've found some cheaper ones that still look pretty detailed. I was actually looking at getting a boroscope instead of a fiberoptic camera to prevent any further loss of quality from the display source since it is already a "cheaper" product.

Any input is welcome

I've used a borescope several times to inspect an engine and it comes in very handy when looking for things you would never see unless the engine was apart.
My job used to require me to use borescopes a lot on inspections of jet engines.

ok so it is definitely enough to let you decide whether something is going wrong or not... right?

Naveed, your motor isn't high mileage...it's just seasoned.
hehe
You worry too much, man. Your car is running good and you'll know when you start to lose compression...then you can start looking for a block. Hell, you live around the corner from Inline. You can probably get a motor swapped in for $3,000.00 total investment (stock motor)...
