Tina, Fact of the matter is that off the shelf frames are seldom perfect. Facing the BB, or the head tube, is a finishing step for a frame prior to attaching components to insure uniform and parallel seating and is, as Sixty Fiver wrote, only performed once. The BB shell's threads are often chased at the same time it is faced.
