I'm going to look at the cooling system some more. Take the water pump off and check it and the passageways. If there's nothing there I'm hunting for a new engine

With the amount of crud that's come out so far I'd suggest disconnecting anything and everything and blasting the block out with a pressure washer.  The extra velocity is likely to pick up a lot more of the heavier silt that a hosepipe might have left behind.

This is what I did last time but it seems a lot more silt has made itself known. My plan is to pull the water pump again first and see what I can see then jetwash and make a decision from there

Obviously try another rad cap and stat first.. I can't see how it can get hot that quick just from silt build up.a pressure check might be an idea.

How common is it to have the liner seals cook themselves after a headgasket and overheating incident?  I've never experienced it or had the liners move when taking the head off (i.e. don't move the crank when the head is off and clamp across the liner tops to avoid the risk of liner movement until the head is back on).  

I hope it is someting simpler to fix than a warped head or liners that need re-sealing.

I've not come across it,but we are now in un chartered territory now the engines are so much older.
