The term “bore” refers to the diameter of a cylinder in a piston engine. If you’re assembling or rebuilding an engine, knowing the bore of each cylinder will allow you to install pistons of an appropriate size to ensure adequate clearance during firing and prevent excess wear or other, more dangerous issues.
