Take the valve covers to your nearest carwash place. Start with concentrated soap, let soak for a few minutes, then run the high pressure (with soap) wash, then high pressure rinse. Repeat as necessary. Finish with the "spotless" mineral-free final rinse. Let dry in the sun. Reinstall.

My pressure washer allows for the use of soap with the pressurized water... as do most high pressure washers. Why not add a little soap to the mix.
Would help cut the oil under the baffles. the shut off the soap and rinse with just water. Might work even better if you could take water right out
of the hot water heater. Hot water and soap, and a hot water rinse (which evaporates quicker with no rusting) might really work!
Just what I think....
