I have that info at home but I'm out of town till Thursday. I don't have access until then. Hopefully someone else can help in the meantime

Looks like 50~85 psi, but haven't verified.

Do you know if the compression you posted has been verified?

Yeah, 340 ~ 590 kPa (3.4 ~ 6 kgf/cm2, 50 ~ 85 psi) from the service manual.
