these ones are +6.00cc? and what about compression with these?
another question i got is are the eagle cranks good. i was gunna buy one for 170 instead of getting my old one redone for the same price.

Re: piston questions
The +5.00cc and +6.00 cc are the volumes of the valve reliefs. You have factor that in to the compression ratio calculation.
Your compression ratio will vary with the chamber size on the heads, what head gasket you use, and the deck height of the block.
