Well Sport,that's why I always mill my heads and deck my blocks when I rebuild an antique engine,as well as lightening the flywheel and dynamically and statically balancing the crank,pistons and rods.
Since with today's fuels I can increase the compression ratio and thus get more speed,higher RPM with unimpaired reliability.
