If there is no compression how are you going to build up air pressure to hold the valve in place? I don't quite see how a broken valve spring would result in no compression unless the valve subsequently bent. I have 2 P38s, both 99 Autobiographies. The recently purchased one had a misfire on cylinder 7 which I fixed by replacing the injector. Had to replace the rear diff as well. Six bolts holding the ring gear in place lost their heads and this was causing a vibration. Very strange. Good luck with yours.
Sheeesh and an e39 540i touring?? Great taste my guy! 👌🏼
Nice looking car, the re build will be worth it, i have just re built my P38 4.6 V8 Gems engine
Which cats did he go with?

I miss the P38 I sold last year, all Range Rovers should be white
I'd probably have to disagree - they all should be 'racing green' (- just like Jags).
Me too ,
Silver is better ;)
Nice P38! 170k miles? It's probably due for an engine rebuild but it's always tough love for P38s. Being vested on those is an acquired taste.
Previously it had head work done while the head gaskets were done, I know that’s not a complete rebuild but it runs really well!
@@rvarover That's awesome! I find P38s to bring more smiles per gallon than D2s. They're just more comfortable to drive.
