Easy way to see oil level

[mro]

As Sargent Shultz would say...
"I know NOTHING" (about LED's (light emiting diodes) )

Volatile gases can accumulate in the crank case which a small spark could ignite...
If/when they go bad (LED's) can they emit a spark? Could the wiring deteriorate over time and short?
Would only need to happen once.

Above is why I mentioned fiber optic, no heat or electricity transmitted thru cable and the light source can be outside the case.

Firstly, all semiconductors are heat sensitive. so it wouldn't live long in that environment. most if not all led's are made of plastic, so eventually the lens would melt. And, yes, when the lens melts it's probable that the internal leads will short, spark, burn until the fuse pops.

Where I USED to work

Sorry to hear you're out of a job right now, Ray. I hope you find one soon or as soon as you want to if you'd like to play for a while. What kind of work do you do?

How about fiber-optics?
I personally have no problem seeing my oil level (centerstand).

Tim,
My job title was a reliability engineer, but what I did was radiation effects engineer. I tried to use atmospheric neutrons, and neutron beams to break the parts. Didn't get paid as much as some, bu working with PHDs was fun, and made me think about how much I DIDN'T know!
