smokin' 9-5

got involved with my friend's father's '99 2.3L, automatic 9-5. It's blowing smoke like crazy. I'm not that familiar with 9-5's but have sufficient mechanical experience with the B234's. Anyway, I thought for sure it was going to be a simple matter of installing a new white check-valve on the hose that runs from the head to the throttle body. As usual, it's not that simple! It still smokes, bad! Also, the timing chain sounds noisy - I find it hard to believe that this should be with only 86k miles on the car.
I've researched a bit through the threads on PCV #6. I'm hoping that it's not the turbo - 86k seems too low to have turbo issues and Tony, the owner, is 84 living on a fixed income. He only bought the car a few months ago (on my recommendation explaining how safe and well-designed Saabs were/are) and I'm hoping I can fix this without having to put a new turbo on. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated
