To find the compression ratio for a *specific* 5.7L engine, you need to consult:
* The owner's manual: This is the best source.
* The engine's specifications: Often found stamped on a tag on the engine itself or in service manuals.
* Online resources: Searching for the specific engine code (e.g., LS1, Hemi 5.7) will often yield specifications, including compression ratio.
Compression ratios typically range from around 8:1 to 12:1 or even higher in some performance engines, but again, it varies greatly.
