Lee,

The bleeds are really only to allow any air or steam pockets to escape rather than become entrapped in the water jackets & cause an air lock. The majority of the coolant flows along the block up thru the rear of the block/head & back to the front of the head & exit.

Your High School physics are serving you well. If I had my way the coolant would be flowing in the opposite direction, but I have not got time for that now!!
