The 89s are supposed to be a drop-in, but my understanding is that the OD 
of the liner is larger, to keep an acceptable wall thickness through the 
water jacket.  Hence, it's not possible to just bore a smaller liner to 
89mm.  Also, since the water passages are smaller, overheating can be a 
problem (as always <g>)
