When the temperature of the engine heats beyond a certain point, these tolerances are no longer enough to compensate and you can start to get metal on metal wear, or worse, some parts can buckle and crack. What temperature that occurs at is a crap shoot. The engineers always leave some extra room in the tolerances as a fudge factor or safety factor. When you exceed that safety factor, the engine will be damaged.<a href="http://www.prohomeschool.com/homeschool-book.htm"> George</a> Most of the engine parts have tolerances that allow for expansion caused by heat.
