Don't put it back if its still blocked - buy a new bit of pipe - wont break the bank and cheaper than cam cover gasket set!!

Use a piece of thin stiff wire VERY GENTLY AND CAREFULLY .. I used a straightned out wire coat hanger - the sort that comes from dry-cleaners - ... just bent the last 1/2 inch off by a tiny wee bit and used it to scrape out as much as possible, then soaked in carb cleaner, then used an airline from the centre bit where the funny gasket goes , took a while but got there eventually...

patience, dear chap, patience ...   :D :D :D
