machine work
Machine work is when a machine shop uses precision tools to make engine parts fit correctly again. It’s often needed after tearing an engine down so everything seals and runs right.
Machine work is precision machining done by a shop to restore or prepare engine components to correct tolerances. For example, it can include boring/honing cylinders, resurfacing mating surfaces, and checking alignment.
