Proper compression for 92 300D?
Hello everyone,
just wondered what proper compression is for a diesel. I have a 92 300D, and my shop recently did a cold compression test with the following numbers- #1-340, #2-330, #3-290, #4-320, #5-320.
He said that these were pretty good for a car w/ 270k- I just wondered what anyone else thought. The car seems to start fine, and runs well.
Thanks!

88 260e - rough idle on cold start
103 engine. Rough idle at cold start up. Smooths out after 30-45 seconds.
When starting warm, starts right away and stalls immediately – re starts right away OK and stays running. Recently hesitates when cold. Been unusually cold her in FL lately. Any thoughts??
