Just to possibly make the OP feel a little better...
the 240d engine can be resleeved and repistoned for a WHOLE lot less money than a turbo engine... it does not have the annular oil ring pistons needed to keep the turbo engines cool.. so they cost way less to purchase....
Of course, finding a good junk yard engine may be a lot less expensive and last a long time.. or it could give you the leeway to take out this engine and take your time rebuilding it while driving around with the junk yard engine...
Until you take the engine apart you can not really tell how many things you need to replace...
