Open deck means the cylinder walls are not solid all the way the block. With an open design, the cylinder wall is bathed a channel of coollant...hence...open deck...think of it like a moat around a castle.
In a closed deck, the cylinder bore is created from the block....so its solid...no moat.

So the advantage of open deck blocks is that they have better cooling capabilities but result in a decrease in strength. Is it possible to convert an open bloack deck into a closed deck? I always read about people talking about doing it to the VQ, but it doesn't seem like it would be an easy task.
