Haha didnt even think about it, worth a go i suppose, i cant see dirt in there but from sanding my block down ready for the gasket to go on, i know there will be little bits in there.

Petrol then use a small bottle brush wind it in and out then blast in the hole with a can of lighter gas whatch your eyes lol!! ho and the hoover is very good just tape a small tube on the end to down size the sucker tube and get right to the base of the holes.

cooton buds and a strong magnet for the metal bits would be fine i reckon, also a pc air duster in a can are as good as an airline and cheap

we used to take a old headbolt and angle grind a groove through the threads top to bottom then wind it in and out the groove collects the shit

Or simply grind two flats on either side. Or one would even do.

It's best not to use a tap, as a tap can re-cut to a degree weakening the threads.

You can also buy specific thread cleaning tools, which are basically a blunt tap.

But a bit of wire, old bolt, airline etc will all be good.
