I am ready to check compression on my diesel 69 TLB Case CK & the manual said using the cranking method I should have 400 psi @ operating temperature. I have the radiator off, diesel fuel pump off & wanted to see if the heads need to be rebuilt before I put it all back together. I can get the tractor up to 70*F & if I checked the compression there, any guesses on what a good compression would be? Or do I have to get it running up to operating temperature & then hurry up & remove the injectors before it cools & check then check the compression?
