Fox is using CNC machinery (piston and cylinder sets) as well as cranks.
Yes, these new engines are machined in CNC machinery and it is not enough to use the engine parts direct from CNC machinery. All tool marks from lathe must be removed first, also all parts are grinded/lapped before use. The material in new engines are not same as in old iron engines and need short running-in and get all moving parts adapted togheter in perfect fit who are not possible to make better in tooling machinery.
