I stuck the endoscope my wife gave me for Christmas in a cylinder of my 292 c.i. and discovered its been bored 0.030. Prior to this I really had no idea of the history of the motor.

They are nice aren't they?

I would rather call them borescopes as the other name brings back bad memories ... :(

BORESCOPE!

You would think the boy having a 3rd GRADE EDUCATION (2 tours) would know how to use WORD PERFECT ... :rolleyes:
 
Did you suddenly feel all that extra Power that you didn't know you had before knowing about the .030 overbore?

I wasn't entirely sure what .030 meant in terms of displacement so I did the math and determined my 292 c.i. is now a 296 c.i. I haven't tested it out yet; it's winter here and the roads are heavily salted.
 
I just looks pretty clean on the piston top, at least on a smaller screen. The walls will give you an idea of the mileage, especially if you can maneuver enough to get a look for a ridge. Not a substitute for a micrometer, but more information.
