300D not 240.
That would affect the compression if the head gasket was blown
bad enough to stop the car in mid race wouldn't it.

A friend has an 82 300D which suddenly lost power while going down the road at
55-60. Blew white smoke and died. Supposedly no odd noises. Won't start lots of
white smoke coming out the tailpipe that smells like unburned diesel. He did a
compression check and says it's OK. I forgot to ask what exactly it is. He has
replaced all the fuel filters and bled the injectors. Get fuel with no bubbles
when the lines are opened while trying to start. Says the fuse on the glow
plugs is good.
What gets me is the sudden loss of power running down the road.
Only thing I can think of is the timing chain but I would think that that would
mess up the valves and effect the compression. Can the injection pump jump
timing by itself without the valves timing jumping?
Any clues?
