What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

Still on my 'to do' list although I've found it to be perfectly rideable as is.   Hoping it won't need another top end refurb as it uses very little oil thanks to Chris's efforts.

 

Tbh, if you're splitting the casings on the engine and it's done a fair few miles you're probably wise to refurb the top end whilst your at it.  I tried not doing this on my mk2a with 43,000 miles but ended up with an engine that used more than twice as much oil as it previously did.  2-3 months later I did a top end refurb as using 2 liters of oil per 1000 miles was annoying to say the least.

 

 

By top end refurb do you mean the valves and guides too ?  These are all in pretty good nick and sealing well in the guides as far as I can tell, was just going to change the stem seals and maybe dremmel a few bits to smooth the ports, then clean and lap the valves
