Tech Question

Can someone link or explain the difference between Open and Closed deck engines. Also what are the advantages and disadvantages?

closed deck

pros: increased stability at high rpm's
cons: may cause cooling issues

open deck

http://www.importbuilders.com/images...illerblock.jpg

pros: better cooling than closed deck
cons: sleeves can move and shift at high rpm's unless braced

the differences are pretty obvious
