The slip-in 87 have the known problem of too little metal left in the 
cylinder wall.  This leads to distortion of the wall with heat, and 
loss of ring sealing.  I didn't know that 88s were ever made as slip 
ins, but they should be even worse.

A properly conceived and built engine will not have any overheating 
problems.  Anyone who has overheating problems should be asking why, 
and what have I done wrong.
