Will this leak? Delta shower valve rebuild.

[Rmgolob]

Plumbers,
I needed to rebuild my shower valve. As expected the bonnet would not budge with heat, WD40, elbow grease, etc.
I cut it off with a Dremel and may have (hopefully not) cut too deep and too far back.
Please look at the pictures and advise.
I have rebuild kit ordered and obviously time will tell, but I was looking for definitely yes or no's.
Thank you in advance,
Rob

I'd be more inclined to replace it with one meeting today's anti-scald tech. While I'm not positive, I don't think that that valve has that functionality built in. I'm not sure where the seal is, so can't tell you if you've cut too deep for a new one to prevent it from leaking.

I would blame Dremel.
Replace the rough body.
Consider it "plumbing education expense".

Differently replace it with a pressure or temperature balance type and it should have integral stops to save you from the hassle of shutting off either tiles stops or the water main

You have cut below where the seals are, so it WILL leak and is not repairable.
