Checking piston oil jets with a bore scope
Does anyone know if it is possible to view the piston cooling jets thru the oil drain hole with a bore scope or inspection camera?

I would think you could see them if you had a good scope with a light on it. No reason why not. Oil drain hole is plenty big enough.

The windage tray may be an obstacle.
