Production engines
Production engines have wide tolerances for economic reasons. This is OK for stock engine performance. The higher the performance and power, the more attention that is needed in the quality and tolerances of the parts, machining, and assembly. As I mentioned earlier, whole books are written on blue printing an engine. To greater or lessor degrees, many of these considerations are appropriate for a high performance engine build up.
