^^^^ This guy knows what's up!

Cylinder head cooling, and the open deck design are important designs that will impact how well the engine can absorb the heat of combustion. A larger cooling pocket over the combustion chamber can absorb more heat.

The open deck design is very good at keeping an even cooling effect on the cylinders, much better than most closed-decks. And I would imagine the head is designed to absorb a lot as well. Of course, I don't have a spare head to saw in half to determine if that's the case.
