1st post on a Porsche enthusiast board and he's asking about a Malibu with possible blown timing chain?
I have never, ever, in all my time here put anyone on ignore. This might be a first.

Just fill the trunk with tannerite and leave it in Chicago. I'm sure you'll get one last movement "under its own power"...

Weird. Seems like a troll.
https://tr.poshmark.com/closet/rajari5707 Valves aren't moving, but the engine is "cranking" (but not turning over), then that would point to a timing belt issue, except that it's a 3.1L V-6, so a timing chain. Still, those can go bad. I think it just needs to be pushed to the nearest junkyard.

I think what he really needs is advice and opinions as to which is the best oil for his air-cooled Malibu.

It's obvious the primulator is toast. Common problem with a Malibu.
While you're at it, replace the pfitzer valve. When they go bad, the first indication is when the primulator goes out. |
