The higher compression the engine the more power it can theoretically produce. The compression ratio is mainly determined by the type of fuel being used.

Does engine need to be replaced when there is no compression?
If there is NO compression on any of the cylinders, you've probably slipped the timing belt/chain. Just knowing that there is no compression is insufficient information to make a decision about replacing the engine. You COULD need to have the engine rebuilt, or it's possible that a valve "kissed" a piston and the engine is toast. Or... it could be something else. If it's just low compression in one or two cylinders, it could even be caused by burned or sticking valves.
