Compression Testing

i am in the procces of rebuilding a oem603 turbo diesel engine with a replacement head. and before i complete the rebuild i want to compression test the engine. but the FSM manual only gives the hot compression test ratings and my car hasn't run in three years. so i cant do a hot test.

i was wondering if any one could tell me what the reading for a cold compression test would read, and if no one know (which i doubt) then if they could tell me where to look for them.

thanks a lot
