No I can't supply reza with a form of RT(gamma) radiation.He would need to acquire a license through CNSC.. and he would be at about the cost of 5 dynos in to get set up with ONE gamma camera or a x-ray tube.. He COULD buy a x-ray tube but again i doubt reza is gonna spend 300+k plus(just for basic equipement, no supplies) licensing fees and insurance(near 50k a year) to have this. Most people say it's about 500-700k to fully get going and then there is yearly costs, repairs, certificates, coursing, and so on.

I gave him LPI( liquid pen. inspection). it will detect all surface defects.

Mag partical A/c is good up to 3mm depth SUB surface defects mainly for service..

Mag Partical D/C is for sub surface defects.

If someone is badly wanting there rods/pistons,crank etc... x-rayed. I can do it AS LONG AS YOU COVER SHIPPING BOTH WAYS(return slip is included).

There are NDT companys in ontario(I can provided numbers/contacts) but you are nearing 180$ a hour plus travel+cost of supplies).. minimum 3 hour charge. So to do a simple shot on a rod you would be near the 800$ mark of inspection.
