I just finished the install on my sr...problem is, is that the antifreeze isnt circulating through the motor...ive been bleeding out the air, but its a very slow process and was wondering if there was any easier way to get rid of this vapor lock.

Try adding coolant with the frone end jacked up. I find this a bit helpful when I try to bleed the motor. Also, you do need to wait until the T-stat opens up as fast_s13 mentioned.

Turn your heater on full blast as well.
