Sounds like what happened to me 2 weeks after buying my nb. The #2 cylinder exhaust valve head broke off, fell down and parts went out thru the turbo.. I didn't try turning the crank backwards.

I understand how farmer dads can be so.. At least take the valve cover off and look for damage. Any idea where the oil went? did all 4.5qt's burn out in the smoke? There is a possibility of the turbo oil seal going bad and filling up your engine with oil, bending valves and cracking lifters...
Yes, kind thoughts. You should post a few pics of the damage I did to the old engine. I knew $5k for the car was too good of a deal, but I'm glad you and Eric are here.
