A nice surprise this afternoon
 

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 ... :(

Re: A nice surprise this afternoon
 

Good point

Re: A nice surprise this afternoon
 

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?

Re: A nice surprise this afternoon
 

Knowledge is power!!:D

Re: A nice surprise this afternoon
 

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.

How do the cylinder walls look? Crosshatch still visible?

Re: A nice surprise this afternoon
 

Humm, I didn't think to look at the cylinder walls. I was looking to determine top dead center. I'll put cylinder walls on the list for tomorrow. Thanks.

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.
