go to anywhere that sells anything automotive... napa, autozone, whatever... they sell these neat little parts retrievers. usually long and skinny and flexible with a claw on the end, some have lights too which are helpful. its a cheap tool that comes in handy more than you might think. good luck!

Not for these, xA/xB1 1NZ-FE have a 10.5:1 ratio

Compression:

Standard compression pressure 1,471 kPa (15.0 kgf/cm2, 213 psi)
Minimum pressure 1,079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm2, 156 psi)
Difference between each cylinder 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 14 psi)
