A factory engine has a range of tolerances, like .010-.012, for all of the moving parts, cylinders and valves, etc. Blue printing makes all of these parts the exact same dimention and in the middle of the range, ie. .011
You would also expect intake/exhaust port polishing to be done at the same time.
This costly expense yields the best possible bhp for the particular engine and is used mostly by racers.
