The term blueprinting is just popular with the old domestic v8's.

All that blueprinting really means is making sure that all bores are machined perfectly straight and inline, that the crankshaft throws were all proper, deck surface parallel to crank centerline etc etc..

All that means as far as we are concerned is having the work done by a professional, "blueprinting" is standard practice.

Yeah especially by the Japanese. They've been building there engines with closer tolerences for decades now.

Blueprinting/balancing is just ensuring that everything is in close tolerances. If you have an american engine it helps a lot, because they're manufactured to CRAP tolerances. It does next to nothing for japanese/german engines though, because the manufacturing tolerances are so tight that blueprinting/balancing isn't going to do anything.
