What is the right amount of compression in each cylinder supposed to be for the 6.5TD engine?

I think All-Data says a min. of 375 or something about 375 PSI. I can look it up tomorrow.

the new 6.5 that I just got came with a slip that said it checked 500 in every cylinder..does this mean it will be hard to start??
