Spent $150 on a bore scope for a stuck lifter job and it paid for itself in an hour.

I could see the exact rocker arm position without pulling the whole valve cover. Has anyone else found a cheap tool that saved a ton of time?

Sometimes the cheap tool is just another thing to buy. My time is better spent pulling the cover and knowing the job is done right. That extra hour doesn't bother me.

I spent twenty minutes trying to get a cheap inspection camera to work on my truck last week. The wire got stuck, the app kept crashing, and I ended up pulling the wheel liner anyway. Sometimes the simple way is just faster, even if it looks like more work at the start. You avoid the hassle of fighting with a tool that barely functions. I get the appeal of a quick fix, but a lot of that cheap gear just creates a second problem to solve.
