Borescope in Northern California?

Before I have my 603 engine torn apart (to replace the #2 piston) I'd like to borescope that cylinder, make sure the walls aren't too badly scored to hone. However, none of the local mechanics here in Santa Rosa has access to a borescope. The "tool rental" section of this forum doesn't list one. Anyone in the Northern California area know of a shop that has or can borrow/rent one? It would be worth traveling to get to such a place (the car is drivable) rather than to pull the head and then discover that the engine is toast.
