Isn't it a straight hole?  I'm thinking a hole that oil from the journal sprays through to lube the cylinder walls - run a wire through it.

I agree with fordem, push a solid thick wire through it, but if it has that much junk in it you may want to CLEAN everything in that bottom end. The crank oil holes are drilled ( bored?) at an angle so they don't go straight through, but angle out or in.

If the bearings spun enough to deposit material within the oil feed holes I would suspect the rods will need to be recond or new bearings will not fit precisely and end up spinning again.
