An unmistakable aircraft in the air. It sounded like no other.

I am doing a report on this engine and was curious if you happen to know the total oil quantity, total compression per stage and the N1 and N2 operating RPMs. Also if there is a link to a picture of the engine itself.
If so I would greatly appreciate this information.
Thank You.
