Look V12|V12, whatever reasons you had for the current direction of water flow in your system, it DOESN'T WORK!

Just reverse the flow: pump --> block (or rad) -->rad (or block) --> res --> pump. The res should ALWAYS be the last thing in the circuit before return to the pump. The way you've got it, all the pressure is lost in the res, water trickles down through the rad (which has high flow resistance) due to gravity, has to go upstream again to the block (only manages that because it is coming from a higher point (res) to start with), before being sucked down by the pump.

So like Puzzdre said, first of all JUST REVERSE THE FLOW, ok?
