Hard to say. Those tolerances would be expensive in general purpose machine work, but in engines those tolerances have been in place since at least the 1930s, and so economies of scale bring those costs down (ie, using specialized machines that are really good at boring precision holes and measuring them. The costs of those machines get amortized over every engine).
