Struggling with aligning a lower manifold in a dark, hard-to-see engine bay on an old Honda, wasting significant time and causing frustration.
No specialized tool to help guide or align the manifold visually or physically in tight, dark spaces; general-purpose wrenches and flashlights are inadequate.

App Concept
GuidedGasket Aligner
A smartphone attachment and companion app that uses augmented reality and a flexible borescope camera to project alignment guides onto the engine block in real-time, even in low-light conditions. It guides the mechanic step-by-step to correctly position and torque gaskets and manifolds without guesswork.
Key Features
- Augmented reality overlay on live camera feed to show perfect alignment position
- Integrated high-intensity LED borescope with adjustable neck for hard-to-reach areas
- Torque wrench integration with visual/audio cues when proper torque is reached
- Vehicle-specific database with gasket patterns and alignment instructions
Target Users: DIY mechanics and professional automotive technicians working on older vehicles with tight engine bays
Revenue Model: $99 for the borescope attachment, plus $4.99/mo subscription for vehicle database access and updates
