One diagnostic tool I've been using a lot lately is a borescope that can be inserted into cylinders, radiators, transmission housings, etc. Mine plugs into a USB port on my laptop and gives a full screen picture of whatever I'm looking at, and it has a variable-intensity LED light built in. It fits through a 5MM hole and has a 36" probe with a 6 foot USB cable attached. Mine cost $48.00 on E Bay, with free shipping!
