No, the injection pump does not need that accuracy. And getting down to .0001" (which is 100X your quoted figure) is difficult but not impossible.

I've been in this business for 20 years and the difficulties of achieving .0001" on bores is well known to me.
AAA gauge blocks are accurate to high tolerance (± 0.00005 mm or 0.000002 in) and used to establish standards.


my mistake, as these are lapped.



anyways; my point still stands. Bosch isn't some magical company. They use the same equipment found in many other shops.
