I have an 82 300SD with rebuilt engine by the best in Cincinnati. It has run
fine for more than 2 years and went bad 2 months ago. last week a valve
adjustment found a valve in # 2 that was extremely difficult to get loose to
be adjusted. My mechanic did succed but it has very low compression, barely
contributes and sounds like it is missing [which it is and had been for 2
months].  There is no fuel in the oil so it seems there is no leak through
the piston/rings itself. We think a valve guide but do not know and I am not
excited about taking off the head to find out more.
Any suggestion?
The body is rusty and seems not to be worth restoration [classic as it may
well be], 245K miles.

the industrial system
  is stressed to the danger point and has proved itself to be a failure
  in the eyes of most people. Suppose for example that some "green"
  party should win control of the United States Congress in an election.
  In order to avoid betraying or watering down their own ideology they
  would have to take vigorous measures to turn economic growth into
  economic shrinkage. To the average man the results would appear
  disastrous: There would be massive unemployment, shortages of
  commodities, etc. Even if the grosser ill effects could be avoided
  through superhumanly skillful management, still people would have to
  begin giving up the luxuries to which they have become addicted.
  Dissatisfaction would grow, the "green" party would be voted out of of
  fice and the revolutionaries would have suffered a severe setback. For
  this reason the revolutionaries should not try to acquire political
  power until the system has gotten itself into such a mess that any
  hardships will be seen as resulting from the failures of the
  industrial system itself and not from the policies of the
  revolutionaries. The revolution against technology will probably have
  to be a revolution by outsiders, a revolution from below and not from
  above.
 
  195. The revolution must be international and worldwide. It cannot be
  carried out on a nation-by-nation basis. Whenever

Replace the adjuster then.
