Ever wonder what the inside of your engine looks like? How about what a head gasket failure, an overheating motor, or a melted piston looks like? In this video I go deep inside an engine using a bore scope (endoscope) to look through the spark plug hole in my Chrysler PT Cruiser with a blown engine.
Stay tuned till the end because I show you the inside of a cylinder in my Chevy Corvette, Mercury Milan, and a Craftsman Lawnmower.
Here is a link to the bore scope: https://amzn.to/3884Bbt
The engine had a small head gasket leak and needed some coolant every month, but nothing serious. Then one day on the highway, it overheated and by the time the driver pulled off the road, the engine blew up.

Overheating an engine will cause the rings to lose tension. I did it on 2 different engines and they both started using oil after repair. The valve guide seals were okay..
Chris, what borescope would you recommend now in 2022?
I have a 2000 Mazda Protege I think the head gasket blown i watch alote of your video that have been so helpful you are the man who can help me out on this please and thank you i think can do it myself

I have been told that if you change a leaking head gasket you need to get the heads machined. Is this true ? I have a 2010 Chevy Cruze
Can someone answer me is that lawn mower engine have scuffed cylinder wall?
Very informative video! I just bought a new car and it smokes a lot. Most E46 owners say it's due to the ccv being clogged up. So I checked with a bore scope, only carbon build up with blacked top of spark plugs.. compression test 185, 175, 175, 155, 162,5 and 162,5 psi so yeah a bit of. with 13% difference between 1st and 6th cylinder. Factory compression should be between 140-150… So cylinder 1, 2 and 3 might have more carbon build up due to being close to ccv inlet…? I wonder… I guess I'll have to use some injection cleaner in those cylinders… Thanks Chris! You've helped me a lot!!
I thought it was an Alien with the thumbnail lol
I hope I'll be like you so that I cn fix my car man😔😔

Seeing the pt cruiser gave me a flashback to when I did my first head gasket with my pops. I miss him so much
