Well, looks like I need to do a Headgasket

Darn!
I pulled the turbo, and zero play with smoothe rotation. Then I looked at exhaust portals for cylinders 1 and 2, and I see oil. Car had power and no skip or hesitation or irregular rhythm, so of course in my haste I never comnpression checked the engine, but if I pull the head and I see scoring I will see about geting another engine from my in-laws.
Good news is that I have wasted no time or effort as the exhaust manifold needed to be removed anyway for a gasket or an engine swap.
I have never used Eeuroparts before. I was a sworn Moncrief man. I guess I have no choice, unless someone knows of another really cool place.
I am preparing my list. Valve cover gaskets, head gasket, and I will price out chain tensioner and guide as I will be there.
Any other suggestions? I want to do this on a shoe string budget, so I will not be doing any modifications or upgrades. This is a car for the wifey, so no 3 inch DP or LSD or JAK chip upgrades. The car will be a true grocery getter. Please make suggestions for stuff that will make the car safe and happy.
Oh, and thanks for all the help so far.
