engine tuning
Performance adjustment work
Engine tuning is the adjustment or modification of an engine to optimize its performance.
The term covers everything from routine maintenance—adjusting timing, replacing spark plugs, cleaning fuel injectors—to extensive modifications for racing or increased power.
A tune-up is periodic maintenance to keep an engine running smoothly.
