" This way, with the help of a good engineer it is technically possible for every competitor to have the best engine for minimal cost."

The disadvantage is that since machining is permitted, it becomes extremely difficult and expensive to prove that an engine has been altered to run outside the specs. A suspect engine has to be measured to a degree of accuracy that is difficult and time-consuming to acheive.

Thus with the advent of CNC machined engines, the specs are far more closely adhered too, the difference between available engines should be much less and by plating or anodising parts one can see whether machining has taken place. Yes, a really competent cheat might also invest in refinishing the part and yes, some cheats have spent 'Formula one types of money' but this is beyond the ability of the mass of drivers who might be tempted to a quick and almost undetectable non-compliant advantage in the 'modify to fiche' environment.

It isn't entirely a black or white situation and it is open to abuse from either direction.
