I get the whole blueprinting argument, nice in principle but isn't it incredibly difficult to police? With every surface of every component potentially needing to be measured.

The original surface finishes makes it easier to control selected parts engines, doesn't it? But of course ultimately that just makes the racing less equal.

Interesting, I've seen both sides of the coin. Running competitively in an unsealed class last year, I hardly got to celebrate a win because I was always up to my elbows in engine parts with the scrutineers. Never a problem with them and doing my own engines not too expensive, but becomes a bore week in week out. If the officials don't like you for whatever reason(in my case a foreigner beating the locals) then it's an easy stick to beat you with.

So this year I've been supplying competitive engines to most of the field. The traditional karting business didn't like this, so next year 9 different outfits have been given the sole right to seal engines. This is not because my engines are giving unfair advantages, on the contary it's because they are too equal. Engine suppliers do not like engines to be too equal, otherwise we would all only ever need one engine!
