    well fianlly found the problem. it apperas that i have broken vaulve. it was taken apart and looked at, i also have a bit of scoreing in the walls but nothing bad i should be able to get buy. the short block looks to be in fair to good condition. also looked at the turbo and needs a new bearing. if you look closely you can see some oil around 7:00 kind of dark but you get the idea. everything is getting fixed tommorow. getting head work done as well as replaceing oil and water pump, and timeing belt. I hope all goes well.
