I take it you mean the compression ratio?

Look where the dipstick tube goes into the engine. You'll see the engine number, near that will be the compression ratio. Should be summat like 9.25:1

As for compression pressures if you're doing a compression test then summat like 130 psi on all cylinders would be about normal.
