other problem is the higher and faster the flow through the block the less
time the coolant has to absorb heat, so you could have a worse overheating

Ron,
What you have said here is a well accepted "Old Wives Tail" but as Henry V
says, dead incorrect. It may take some courses in thermodynamics to understand
why. However, I think it would be an interesting exercise for some of you to
come up with analogies that demonstrate the principles. Here is one that I
have quickly concocted, show us a better one.
Think of the system as a bar where people are drinking beer. The owner says,
if I limit the number of people in the bar, the waitress will have more time
to serve each customer so that they will each drink more beer. Therefore I
will sell more beer.
