If an engine records 8 bar on a compression gauge does that mean it has a compression ration of 1:8 ?

I'm trying to measuer the compression on a GX160. Do you need to spin the engine over using a drill to measure the compression or is pulling the starter cord a few times OK?

Lastly how high can you take the compression (non MSA engine) before detination becomes an issue.
