To determine the engine's actual PSI you must measure it.

The reason I'm asking is because I'm helping a mechanic with some stuff, as he might help me with tunning my car, or rebuild my engine if somehow
, I kill it.
I ordered a compression testing kit from the US for him, but need to find a chart with values for diesel engines. Do you have any idea where I can find a chart where it states the compression different engines should have?
Thanks!
