I believe they drill a very small hole in the head and use a camera with a lens that can exceed high temps

very clever all the same

It's probably a Ricardo signle cylinder development engine - I use to use them at Ford for R&D.

Seriously expensive!

Its basically a glass window in the head - you can even have a window in the piston and look up at the spark plug.
