From what I've been told, the bleed hole prevents air being trapped or the system being "air tight". I thought you need a slight amount of circulation (but not enough to cool the block), so that the hot coolant can reach the Tstat to open it. Maybe without the rubber seal, this imperfect fitting does the same job as the bleed hole, who knows. I had bought an a T-stat from a local parts store, but I decided to return it and get a dealer one just to make sure theres no problems, and durability.
