I would think that would have been pretty obvious.
Oil everywhere followed by the engine seizing.

Wild guess - could he have lost all his engine oil when the engine
collapsed on the oil cooler lines?

He said he did and that it was OK. I forgot to ask what it was and if the
OK was for a gas or diesel engine. A little bit of a difference there.

Gee I must be losing my mind, I thought I saw 240d. Yes compression would
be way low. Maybe he really didn't check compression?

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?
