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?
