Steve,
My recommendation would be to perform a valve adjustment and then a leak
down test. If the issue is a burned valve, you will know it by the sound of
air escaping through the intake or exhaust. It is rare for these motors to
eat a piston to the point where you have zero compression, but it does happen.
Here's hoping for just a burned valve.

5. So we pulled the injectors out of #1 and #2 and did a compression test.
- #1 ZERO, no movement at all on the dial when cranking
- #2, shows strong movement right up to almost 500pds (yes, we checked this
twice)
OKAY, so here I sit. I now have a choice: either roll the 240d parts car
into the shop, swap out the engine with a known good one, then pull the
existing engine apart at my leisure, OR we pull the head off this one while
it is still in the car, and see what we have to pay the Piper.
Thoughts, ideas, most appreciated.
