8/19/24: I went to multiple hardware stores and they did not have the correct length so I ended up going with a 100mm instead of a 110mm and cut 10mm off of the engine stand, we mounted the engine to the stand without event. We drained the oil and it was very shiny but no visible large chunks or flakes. we also cut open the filter and it just had some shiny deposits like what was in the oil, It did not have any flakes either.
I took off the turbo and inspected it. The turbo seemed to have minimal wear ant there was still a paint mark on one of the compressor blades. Coolant was in the coolant return but the oil return for the turbo was completely dry except for some oil crust, I chalk this up to the turbo making the oil hot enough to flow completely back to the engine and therefore not remaining in the pipe. The brand of the turbo was F-Diesel, wo apparently is an online seller but more research is required. there is a ton of oil on top of the engine and the turbo looks like it is leaking some oil externally but not enough to make up the amount on the engine.
