Well, after having been misinformed about the availability of the SE cases for T124 motors from S&S even though I had triple checked and was in fact told by two people from S&S and then just a misunderstanding between my S&S rep and I, although that is not something I have not see as a problem, I suppose one could use that as a reason to go to the external oil lines that are used with the T2 cases at least to avoid tearing the engine down, maching the T2 cases for internal lines and voiding your warranty from S&S, I do understand the desire to keep the oil lines internal for many folks. I happen to run the SE cases on my own Road Glide with the S&S T124 and we will be ordering another T124 with SE cases from S&S in the low compression version over the next day or two but to answer your question, yes, it does appear the gasket has been compromised and would require installing a new one which means your primary work will need to be redone also. It would also be a great time for you to install a 124 also. :^)
