The DD engines were goners based simply on emissions non-compliance. Their advantages, otherwise, were stellar (unless you were the, uh, close-proximity operator). But they were also a real mechanics engine as their complexity was no small thing in tear down and re-assembly. Weight, size and power output could be configured almost endlessly.
Beautiful creatures internally, not unlike a big radial engine.

We'll drill till we die, baby!
