G'day
A very useful tool.
About 12 months after the very early C-series engine in the BN3 was rebuilt=
, I didn't have the occasion to run it for a time.
Attempted to start it and the engine wouldn't turn over. Battery okay. Star=
ter okay.
What was the problem?
Used an endoscope to look through the spark plus holes to find serious rust=
scale on the bore of no. 1 and 4 cylinders. Turned out that the block had =
cracked and coolant was seeping in between the block and head.
Of course, the endoscope didn't fix it, but it helped me find the problem.
Advice. Don't try and bore an early 2.6 litre smooth sided crankcase out to=
2.9 litre.

Subject: [Healeys] Endoscope
Hi,
A wise and thoughtful Santa brought me an endoscope for Christmas. A decent=
enough thing, it has it's own screen ie don't have to plug in to a smart p=
hone.
What luck, benefit or whatever has anyone had with an endoscope in respect =
of working on their Healeys?
Thanks,
Simon
