You think you know the compression, but you don't know anything until you check it. If you have one or two cylinders that are quite low while the three are in the high normal range of 400 it will start on a warm day. But when you start it on a cool morning with the glow plugs, as soon as the glow plugs cool off it will run very weak, (a miss in effect) until the engine warms up. Better do the test and then you will know for sure.
