Question Overheating question

I just bought a 1993 cherokee sport. The guy i bought it from said head gasket was shot. I found it overheating. I replaced water pump and found a "vapor lock" or blockage in cooling system. After blowing a hose through several hoses and refilling with anti freeze, it now runs like a top. Is this vapor lock issue common? This is my first jeep. Could not beat the price of 600.00 165k miles and in great shape.

Big difference between vapor lock and blockage.
