If the spark plug is out then just rotate the engine by hand until a
screwdriver poked into the hole shows that the piston is at the top.
if it's at the top there's the least space to clean, but possibly
would also make it hard for the little hose to make the corner and
squeeze between the top of the piston and the cylinder head? if i were
you i would check clearances with the hose BEFORE you started to
remachine the threads.
as far as the metal shavings, i would get a tiny little clear hose and
put it into the end of a vaccuum crevice tool and plug the rest of the
crevice tool with my hand. that thing can get in there and move it all
around to get all the crumbs you can find.
good luck!
