Checking the condition of engine main bearings through the oil drain
hole instead of taking it out and re-building.
You can't see the actual bearings without dismantling.
If the engine has cornered with a low level then the white metal can
melt and ooze out of the bearing caps like icicles - seen it with my
own eyes 30 years ago on an 'A Series'
You'll not need a camera to know this has happened. Just ears.
