ideally yes, but for larger size pistons, stroker kits, billet mains, billet girdle, stepping up to 1/2" head studs, there will always be SOME machining required.
Detailed conversations with the machine shop need to be had BEFORE you agree to have them do the work. If they are not willing to show you each and every measurement (with calipers, micrometers, gauges, etc) after the job is done, then find a new machine shop. If they aren't willing to use torque plates while boring cylinders, find a new machine shop. Etc Etc Etc.
