The outside diameter of 103mm,104mm and 105mm cylinders are the same.Why did you have to use rings or am I misunderstanding something? My Deutz cylinders have a larger outside diameter than the Mahle,JE and AA cylinders so I had to machine the case and heads a little larger.It sounds like you have had a lot set backs with your engine besides the EP heads issue which I remember too well.I hope you have better luck now and finally get it finished.
Back to the deflector issue...deflectors are useless with such big engines,because they are simply too small! The engine is wider, the cylinders longer.Trust me Remmele doesn't use them either.Anything with a stroker crank and longer cylinders the deflectors become more of a hazard than an improvement in cooling.Also you have custom cylinders so the off the shelf stuff won't fit anyway,at least not properly...
