Here´s a small update:
I finally got around to shortening the cylinders and machining the heads to fit the Deutz cylinders.My thanks goes out to Remmele´s machinist and mechanic Peter for his time and expertise.They were a real bitch to machine because they are so hard.The first step was to literally knock off a couple of cooling fins,then machine the rough spots down to be able finish the work on the lathe.He installed a new bit,machined the 4 cylinders and the bit was dull or basically trash after that! The heads were of course no problem at all.All together it took about 6 hours to do.
The length of the cylinders are now the same as stock (or very close) of 127.69mm the outside diameter is 115.88,which we did not change.
The next step is to bore and hone the cylinders out for the 103mm pistons.

yes,we did spray oil regularly on the bit and cylinder.
