It's been quite useful in looking into otherwise inaccessible places - like reading the part number on the failed Corvette A/C relay used in my car as a fan relay. It was mounted on top of the crossbrace above the pedal assembly in my car. I could have removed it to check (which I eventually did), but having the scope was ideal when troubleshooting the problem.
Yhea picked up a Milwakee at home depot plus a coworker brought his older WIFI snake cam. the wifi box is junk but got the 5mm cam with light to work with windows 10 camera app super easy.damn thing is 5meter long. Should pop right into my lap top.

Ok, so good news, no leaks. The bad news the HTOB moves with springs, zero gap and if HTOB moves the springs move with it. so I suspect it has constant pressure on clutch. pics will soon be in album

As noted in the McLeod instructions I linked above, McLeod offers a shorter piston if your setup doesn't have the required clearance. The piston is 0.200” shorter than the standard piston. Assuming your HTOB is a McLeod there's thereofore a relatively easy fix, but if so it would seem whoever did the installation and setup didn't take the proper measurements and clearance before bolting it all together. This should be on them to fix. McLeod's Tech Line number is in the linked PDF.

That was kinda my thinking on the clutch. As far as the paint people may ask you bought it after seeing it. Well yes but the staining is such that in the wrong light you cannot see it. I looked it over in their huge facility and then drove it while it was cloudy. Im just coming from the angle that when you do purchase something no matter it should perform especially if you buying it precisely for the look and performance.
