What are you guys using for a bore scope? I want to get into the sparkkpugs and down the intake and in through the oil pan plug to check out one of my engines. The phone is a Motorola Moto Z. I had a cheapy HB freight and it gave up after a yr.

I looked several years ago for the same thing and the issue I had was finding one to fit the USB-C port on our Motorola Z phone. I am sure they are available now but have not purchased one yet. There are lots to chose from on Amazon. Be aware of camera diameter, number of lights, cable length and flexibility. Also look at IR attachments. We used a Flir that went into a Apple phone at work that was incredible....but it was a FLIR I'm sure it was $$$.

I use one I bought at Lowes.
They work great and I think I paid $80.00 for it. Have been using it for 3 years with no problem.

Don't buy a short focus unit, they won't see anything out over a couple of inches. Longer focus units will see up close but can also see the whole cylinder.

DEPSTECH Wireless Endoscope, IP67 Waterproof WiFi Borescope
This is what i use. Amazon has them for $36. I’ve had no issues with it and it works surprisingly well. I used it to look for an internal oil leak in my engine. Stuck it through the distributor hole while spinning the oil pump with a drill. The camera was not bothered by the oil.

I use a wifi Endoscope I found on Amazon, seems to work well. Your quest then will be finding the right app to run the endoscope. Some work, some don't.
