Degree markings are simple men's working marks and are close enough for nearly all mechanical operations (provided they, the mechanics, can remember to turn the engine in the right direction!). Proper Engineers measure distances. They are the fellows who designed the engine and a few others who might just want to get it exactly 'as design'
