I need to look into a motorcycle cylinder to see if I have a foreign object or stuck valve or who knows what going on. Is there anywhere to rent or tool loan one of those deals with the screen and flexible camera around Denver?

I was able to rent one a my local o'reilly store (18$/day), but i bought one at sears for 99$ recently and i already used it 5-6 times so it already pay by itself.
If your motor is transportable, I have two at the shop you can use. They need a computer, but they work great. Need 7mm aperture to get inside on the smallest one.
harbor freight has one for like $79
I have one too. You'd have to bring the bike to my house. 1/4" tip. I am guessing you are probably going in through a spark plug hole anyways.
That sounds handy, where did you get them?Quote:

The ones I have were over $40K each. Be careful if you buy a cheap one. Sometimes the tips can be rather large. I have a cheap Milwaukee one but the tip is so big it won't fit through a spark plug hole.
The prices have plummeted. The one I used to rent for $105/day that was about $20K is easily outpaced by a $100 unit today, in every way. My $25K microscope is now worth about $20K, but thankfully the X-ray has gone up in price a bit. This is an image from a 1/2" diameter pipe encased in concrete with a hole. The burst through hole is located at the upper left hand corner. The scope I used for this image costs less than $100.

AutoZone and Parts america will do "free" tool loaners .. call the ones around you and see if they have them in stock ...
by free I mean you put a deposit down ( normally full price) and they return that when you return the tool ..
