Does that indicate the blockage is at the elbow there, where you can get at it?
I guess I missed something, but I was thinking that 94 meant you had hot water out to the elbow so you don't have to bust in to get at the back of the WH. If the check valve moved downstream as mentioned then it could be hung up at the elbow.
Without knowing any better, IMO just cut that elbow out and see what's what. Easier to plumb in a new elbow than bust in or pull out the WH.
Pulling the WH is a huge PITA and putting it all back together no fun either. There was a good video which helped me a lot thank goodness.
