does anyone here happen to have a borescope or know of a place that rents the cheap ones?
 

all the inspection rental i've called only have the super-high end stuff ($400 minimum rental)... i can buy a ghetto one with a mirror for the same price that will (probably) be adequate to inspect for engine carnage.

I would suggest checking Autozone or Shucks. I hope your car will come out of OK, for min $'s Nathan
 

It is ironic, your car is broke and you can't drive it. My car runs fine, but WA won't license it, because it won't pass emissions.

harbor freight?
 

could come in handy later in life.<ul><li><a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95833">if it does the trick?!</a></li></ul>

are you near seattle?

i'll try a few places. i'd rather buy something for <$400 than rent one of the nice ones
 

i'm hoping i get lucky and just need a new water pump or something... otherwise i'll settle in, get some wet-weather gear and ride the m/c for a few months and tear down the motor after i get the house finished up

i live near puyallup and work in maple valley

I have the snap on version of this...
