It is of little value to the typical owner unless he wants to DIY an overhaul.
It is of inestimable value to the owner of an exotic car or other vehicle that is not locally supported, so that he can lend it to a mechanic he trusts and have some hope of getting back a usable vehicle in a reasonable time frame.

I think Mike is referring to a build log book that records everything done when repairing or more importantly modifying an engine.
A Factory Workshop Manual is used to repair a car to factory specification or to a factory recommended repair standard

Even low volume (1500/yr) production lines that I've seen, where the engine stays in place and the parts come to it, use an electronic step-by-step pictorial guide vs. a printed manual.

So they'd include which torque wrench to use (by model name), and its torque setting, bolt part number , washer part number, how many of them , what order to tighten them in, and what SPC is needed.
