Hey gentlemen,

Just bought '99 986 w 134k on the clock; documented LN IMS about 5k ago. First thing I did was drop sump to see what could be seen. There was a bit of beige/brown plastic, the entirety of which would not cover a dime -- but enough to cause me to order a Durametric [as of yet not delivered] and check deviations.

At some point in the past, I have read that with a borescope, the Variocam pads were visible through some orifice... I'd love to put eyes on them. Does anyone know how/where to scope them??

Thanks!
