Once you break the crud loose in this passage, you'll be amazed at all the solid stuff that has collected up in the back of the water jacket.
Chemicals aren't really going to help you much....just keep at the passage. I pulled the freeze plug right above the petcock and used a hose nozzle to flush out the stuff. Might not work if your manifolds are on.
You might consider using distilled water when you recharge the colling system. I refer a 25/75 mix....25% antifreeze....and the distilled water will coast you less than $2.00. Pretty cheap insurance against overheating.
