Hospitals have surplus endoscopes that work great as borescopes - and they can be had for a bargain - look on ebay. There are also some websites that will sell cheap borescopes made in china - if you dont mind buying such things. I cannot attest to the quality but here is the site if you are interested:

I bought one from back east on Ebay and love it.


Seller was


xinyanwei151982


You plug it into a USB port on a Laptop and copy the exe file to your laptop.


Then open the file up and select view and it works video or pics.


It was under $25 as I remember it.  Took awhile to get here but worth it to me.

Looks promising, thanks for the link!  I'd like to see a higher resolution, but the small diameter is nice.  I have one similar to what's mentioned in the CSOBeech link (which cost a bit more, but is higher resolution), but it's a lot bulkier on the head--just a bit too much so to fit through the spark plug hole.  Maybe I just need to break out the Dremel tool...
