I also checked the timing and it is good.

I guess my main question is, since there was so much gunk that came out when we washed out the chamber with the water distribution tube, are there additional channels or chambers that might also be clogged that we could not get to from the flush in the center of the block. Could I get to other areas by removing the head?

I cannot figure out how the water flows after it leaves the water distribution tube. I realize that it flows around the cylinders but if those channels are clogged, will removing the head allow us to see other areas that might be preventing the flow of cool liquid? Does liquid flow through any ports in the head?
