Valve cover gasket ?

What if I were to change my valve cover gaskets and when scraping the old cork gasket off small chunks fell down the guides where the pushrods are. Is there a way to get the chunks out? o No:

TIA,

Unfortunately, without pulling the intake, you probably won't be able to get them out.

What I do is to use my shop vac rigged with a small nozzle. Even if a piece falls down into a pushrod hole it usually hangs before going all the way thru. The shop vac with a small nozzle will slurp them right out. :Brow:
In fact I cant do without the vac doing body work , cleaning inside doors, body panels ect.
