Mercedes: 1991 420 SEL lost power, detali, mb2

Question
Quietly lost power on the freeway.  Mechanic said it has no
compression and will probably need a new engine.  I don't trust
his opinion and want to proceed intelligently. Ideas?

Answer
Best guess:
If I am correct, you need a good independent MB mechanic.
