How much will be a good compression on a 1982 300 SD with 243K miles?
I am planning to check with cold engine.

These values are from 1978. 300SD Turbo Diesel Service Manual, Engines 917.910/12
Test Values are with the Engine at operating Temperature:
Normal Compression bar- 22-24, psi- 319-348
Lowest Compression bar- 15, psi- 218
Permissable differance between individual Cylinders, max bar 3, max psi- 44
Ceck the DIY section for how may rpm to crank and other specifics.
