Clean the valve covers with anything aluminum safe (degreaser is fine), wash thoroughly and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

You mention scoring on the cams, post pics.

The oil cooler and IC do not use coolant... if they're getting wet with it it's coming from the overflow tank or a leak in the rad.

Dark coolant is usually the result of rust. Sometimes it's due to other contamination such as oil but that usually separates enough that you can tell it's oil beading up on the top of the coolant. Clean out the system and replace the coolant. Check oil for signs of coolant and look under the oil cap for light brown sludge.

The shop servicing the turbo should check the wastegate and actuator.

the cams have like small sctatches on the parts that actually rub i was told theres nothing to worry about they are fine.

the coolant did have rust in it im going to flush it when i get her running again. im in the process of taking off the turbo (not as easy as it looks. i have taken the elbow off the turbo and the exhaust and unbolted the turbo from the exhaust manifold but theres a little tube looking thing i cant get off the bottom of the turbo....

ohh and i found that some of the IC tubing was tirwraped on and half way off the flanges its suposed to be connected to. and all my IC tubing needs to be replaced it is absolutly trashed any suggestions??
