Default old merc compression

Good day,

Just wondering what kind of compression an old merc motor should have?
Also, is it possible that an engine not used for a while would need a good
run for the rings to seat properly again and thus increase the compression?
Relating to a 72, 80hp merc that wasn't run for likely 8 years

Cheers
