What does REBORE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The process of boring out an engine's cylinders again to restore their original shape after wear, or an engine that has undergone this process.
Mechanics rebore a worn engine block when years of use have left the cylinder walls scored or out of round, cutting them slightly wider and fitting oversized pistons to match. The word works as both a verb, describing the machining work itself, and a noun, naming either the job or the resulting engine, as in a rebore that runs like new. Classic car restorers rely on a rebore to bring old, heavily used engines back to reliable working condition rather than replacing the entire block.
How REBORE is used
Technical; used mainly in auto mechanics and engine restoration.
- The mechanic recommended a full rebore before the engine failed completely.
- After the rebore, the old engine ran smoother than it had in years.
