Removing debris from an engine component

A method, comprising:

• providing an engine component configured with a component fluid passage and a receptacle, the component fluid passage extending within the engine component to the receptacle, and the receptacle extending through the engine component between a receptacle first end and a receptacle second end;
• providing a fluid diverter configured with a diverter fluid passage and a port, the fluid diverter extending between a diverter first end and a diverter second end, and the diverter fluid passage extending partially into the fluid diverter from the diverter first end;
• mating the fluid diverter with the receptacle, the diverter first end disposed at the receptacle first end, the diverter plugging a portion of the receptacle at the diverter second end, and the port fluidly coupling the component fluid passage to the diverter fluid passage;
• and
• directing fluid through the component fluid passage into the diverter fluid passage to remove debris from the engine component;
• wherein the providing of the engine component comprises additively manufacturing the engine component;
• and
• wherein the debris comprises powder within the component fluid passage that is left over from the additively manufacturing of the engine component.

• removing the fluid diverter from the receptacle subsequent to the directing of the fluid through the component fluid passage;
• and
• mating an injector with the receptacle subsequent to the removal of the fluid diverter from the receptacle, the injector plugging a portion of the receptacle at the receptacle first end.
