That's why quality machinists are worth their money. An .060 over-bore is do-able if the block has decent wall thickness & can handle it (some blocks can, some cant).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
