Okay,
Symptoms:
Can hear a racket in the upper parts of the engine when starting (lifters/valves not getting oil, if I understand correctly.)
Lots of oil smoke after acceleration (none when car is started so not the turbo).
Vibration at idle (partially because the balancing chain was cut out)
Some sludge in the crankcase
Actually, replacing the engine is the worst-case scenario, but it has been suggested to me as one possible outcome of taking it into the shop.
