Im not aware of one, but hot water exits the top block. Flows down the radiator and enters the bottom of the block.

This is a Chevy V8, but basically all engines that Im aware of use the same set up. Hot out the top.

Just a side note, in this diagram the hose #9 is where your radiator is.

T'stat closed - coolant circulates from the block, thru the head, thru the bypass and back to/thru the block

T'stat open - from the block, thru the head, thru the bypass and radiator and back to/thru the block.

The amount thru the rad is determined by how much the t-stat opens.
