Ive cleaned several similar set ups, including the PV8 rocker shafts.
Place a heavy string thru one hole in the shaft. Use compressd air to blow it to the hole at opposite end. Fish out end of string. Tie a small piece of rage to it and pull it thru. Make string long enuf so that swab is tied about centre of string so that string can be simply drawn baxk and forth with out loosing an end inside of shaft.
Cleaned out ends near plugs with a stiff wire. I usd keroaene but carb cleaner mite work better.
Kind.of like.cleaning a gun barrel.
