My 87 Cherokee. Head and pistons/block. Does anyone see any thing concerning? I did notice a few coolant passages were blocked! I have since cleaned all of that mess. 260,xxx miles

Those are not coolant passages. Those are drains for sand that are used during the casting process. Your coolant passages are fine.
The straight 6 uses the two rear coolant passages behind cylinder 6, one small passage per each combustion chamber, and one return passage front passenger of cylinder 1 for use when the thermostat is closed.
