Open Deck/Closed Deck

[zach1288]

I keeping reading posts and people are referring to open and closed deck, whats does that mean?

[Huffer]

A closed deck is where the engine block surrounding the piston cylinder is solid metal (or pretty much).

An open deck is where the cylinder walls have a gap around them.

A semi-closed/open deck is where there is SOME empty space surrounding the piston cylinders.

Here is a great link, the first one from Google images:
