Endoscopy makes it possible to look inside a cylinder without dismantling the engine.

Symptoms

Compression readings are off, and the cause needs to be understood before disassembly.

What's included

We insert a camera through the spark-plug opening and inspect the cylinder wall, piston crown, valve faces and combustion chamber. This reveals what figures alone cannot show: scoring on the walls, a burned piston, carbon deposits, traces of antifreeze or oil ingress, and the consequences of hydrolock. The method is especially useful before buying a vehicle and when compression has shown a deviation whose cause must be understood before deciding on dismantling. The photographs and video remain with you as objective evidence of engine condition rather than a technician's words. Cylinder endoscopy in Kyiv is performed without dismantling the engine.

Additional checks

Condition of the cylinder wall and piston crown
Condition of the valve faces and combustion chamber
Signs of hydrolock

Why it matters

The method shows scoring, a burnt piston, carbon buildup, or traces of coolant or oil — things numbers alone don't reveal. The photos and video stay with the customer as objective evidence, not just a mechanic's word.

More details

Endoscopy lets us look inside the cylinder without disassembling the engine. Through the spark plug hole we insert a camera and inspect the condition of the cylinder bore, the piston crown, the valve heads, and the combustion chamber. This reveals what numbers alone don't show: scoring on the walls, a burned piston, carbon buildup, traces of coolant or oil intrusion, and the effects of a hydraulic lock. The method is especially useful before buying a car and when a compression test showed a deviation and you need to understand the cause before deciding on disassembly. The photos and video stay with you — objective proof of the engine's condition, not just the technician's word. We perform cylinder endoscopy in Kyiv without disassembling the engine — the footage stays with you.
