You seem to have good air flow (although your testing methods are not very reliable). Low flow is usually caused by a bad pump or blockage (stuck 'stat, something in a passage, heat exchanger pluggage, etc).

You've checked all the easy stuff. Go ahead and pull the pump for inspection. Use your borescope on the block while you have things apart.

I realize my hand is not a very reliable way of testing, but it's what I have access to lol. I don't have access to the tool to set the crankshaft in place to loosen the crankshaft pulley so looks like I will be saving up for a little bit before I can have the shop inspect the water pump for me. gonna drain the system this weekend in the interim and take a look around with my borescope and try to get pictures for those interested.
