What kind of fuel are you burning?
Alcohol attracts water condensation like crazy..!
Left over alky in the cylinders will steam up the heads.
Oxygenated gas fuels such as VP113 will also do it, but not as bad.
Maintinance on Alky engines calls for flushing the fuel system with gas at the end of every day before putting it to bed.

I'm running VP C12.
I talked to a local dyno shop this morning, they said its most likely condesation. when they have been dynoing there engines the outside wall is acually dripping! They have also found lots of condensation on the valve covers, especially thin sheetmetal ones. I pulled the covers off and sure enough there was condesation there (clear not milky). I ran the engine, brought it up to temp, plugs were dry. cranked engine over with plugs out, no water :D .
I'm hoping that's what it is :!:

thanks for all the help.
