Yes it does make sense, but thats only in cases where the shops are using the "latest and greatest" (Relative to the past decade) in machine tool technology and where micro-polishing can be performed effectively. Theres plenty of shops out there running with the same equipment their Grandfather's had used and doing excelent work with it, provided of course the traditional rules on engine break in were followed.

However, I think when it's time for a rebuild Im going to have to take it to one of the shops using top notch gear and modern techniques, of course Ive still got a decent amount of miles left in it. ( Sitting at 96K now)
