Fingers crossed but it doesn't seem to be leaking anywhere. I took a lot of care with assembly and surfaces, etc., to make it tight. Interestingly enough, the split case design on Triumphs is actually really good...unless you really slob that part of the build, they should not ever leak out of the case itself. Top end and pushrod tube leaks are the common ones.
I cleaned the case halves really well and put them together using Loctite 574, the recommended sealant for air-cooled 911 cases. My friend Tyson Schmidt supplied the Loctite and the expert touch with application, really appreciate him. You can see the "ridge" on one of the case halves that really locks them together when they mate. Should not ever leak:
