To stroke an engine:

Boring out the cylinders to allow more amount of air and fuel in. An easy way to explain it would just be taking a 2.5L engine and "stroking" it to 2.9L, or even 3.0L. This can be achieved by changing out connecting rods and the crankshaft for a longer throw, or actually boring out the cylinders to allow more inbetween, or both.
