[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1690535, member: 78056"] Rooster, if you're already using a scope then you've probably already modified your cleaning methods to what works. Not sure why but I was under the impression you hadn't used a scope before... first time ever I didn't read everything! Scoping the fan blades on turbines can be fun, especially when you find something interesting, like progressively shorter blades... on the same stage! Did you ever get a scope stuck? I did once, a brand new Olympus 6mm video scope. We played with that thing for 45 minutes, turning the blades one way a bit, then the other. Durn thing just flat refused to come loose. Supervisor said pull on it until something comes loose! So I did. Here comes the scope tube with no camera, lens or light source on the end! Oppsie! Strangely enough the lens part fell out as well and we got it out if the engine via the inspection port. I still have it, in fact! What a memento, eh? A $60,000 scope, chunked the second week we had it. Oly did good, tho, and replaced everything under warranty. Whew! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
