OK, not a rusty engine. Has something else plugged some of your lower tubes
in the cores?
Could you try blowing compressed air in from one side and see what comes out
the other side (catch it in a plastic bag or bottle or something)? Then,
blow from other side and see if anything comes out the other side.
If don't want to use compressed air, flow some water thru, first from one
side, then form the other, catching the outflow.
Then pour a pan of hot water in from one side and feel each tube. Then
drain, cool it, and pour in from opposite side and see what happens.

"Full of rust"??
If so, you may have plugged up cores.
