Hello,

Yes the distribution pipe can get blocked.

I have pulled my fair share of silicone glue out these pipes.

But first, make sure the corret style of thermostat is installed.

It is very common to find that the incorrect style has been used.

The correct thermostat has a spring loaded extension on the bottom and this is to cover a small pipe in the head when the thermostat opens and which then correctly directs the flow of water through the head.

Without this extension the water never circulates correctly through the engine.
