Guy,
The bleed holes in thermostat follow the same principle as a bypass designed in the stock GM, Ford etc. water pump. I'm not sure if the original concept was to prevent cavitation or other pump related problems. In our converted cars, the bleed holes will also prevent blowing a hose off while in the same mode (t/s closed, pump spinning above 2000 rpm).
John
