I really like the deutz cylinders so I have been interested in them, reading all I could find, so I think I can give a few answers to that:
One of the reasons could be the fact that they have more and larger cooling fins.
Another one is the great length of the cylinders, allowing you to run any combination of stroke and rod length.
Another advantage is the thickness of the cylinder wall, making them very strong, eaven when bored to a larger interior diameter.
Oh, and I hear the casting material quality is very good also... better than that of the usual cylinders off the shelf.
And I'm sure there are lots of other advantages, not to mention the coolness factor of this conversion!
