Think of the siamese head, instead of two heads stuck together the bores are cast so there is no water passage/jacket between bores.

I never had any probs with my clevo with siamese bores, the only things I can think of are
they cost a s**t to have a block fitted with them, requiring all surfaces to be remachined once they are brazed in.
they are around 5kg heavier.
But ,they are almost indestructable!
