Because they made enough of them that you can still get most parts OEM or aftermarket. I paid a kings ransome for main bearings for my
Aston Martin DB4 and in the package the bearing thickness varied by as much as 0.001" on a crankshaft that calls for 0.001 to 0.0015" clearance! The tolerances were closer and more standarized in 1959 than they are now. Effing British trash.
