Yep thats right Tim. It is rarely a perfect world when you find this problem. Now that I have rebuilt these things countless times I just make sure the engine shop is clear about cleaning it out at rebuild time. When it's in the truck, a wire poking around is the most efficient/aggravating means to do it. It may not get it all, but it's far better than nothing.
