Thank you gentlemen for answering my question! The pictures look just like my car! Thank you very much. I had posted how I was doing the filling procedure. Thanks for the advice that starting it does a lot of that for me. I have used the bleeder screws. Thanks for showing them in the picture. So you are saying that if a pressure test is done, it could indicate a chronic problem with the engine that won't be visible. I have replaced a timing chain (sprocket went bad) on my old Malibu before I got the newer engine in it with the roller push rods since my old engine had the cams go flat. If I'm still having this problem I may tear into it to get "my car back". I've played with cars since I was 15 but I'm NO expert. Thanks for telling me that the fans may be working okay. I have seen that second fan come on in the summer when I was running the air conditioning (still works). I have the time but no money. Isn't that how it always goes?
