Good info, didn't think about the natural build up so much but I guess after 160k even a little at a time would cause some blockage. I've tried cleaning mine and unfortunately it's not as easy as your's. But at some point I need to focus more attention on finding a way to get the passage clean... it has quite a few bad turns that limit probing it clean with a wire brush or something similar
