I currently have my FJ60's cylinder head off for a refresh and have taken advantage of the open space to do some much needed cleaning. The pushrod cover gasket is in dire need of replacement, but with the pushrods out I'm worried about getting gunk down on the lifters/cam. Is this a valid concern? Does anybody have any suggestions how to approach this? Maybe a shop vac with a high velocity tip on it would be enough to suck out any grime that might fall down during removal?
While we're at it, for a relatively high mileage engine, is it beneficial or worthwhile to clean out any other internal passages that I can see?
Thanks
