Have installed two head gaskets because of previous problem with pistons hitting planed head (didn't know better). You Wizards solved that problem for me. Haven't started engine yet. It has been setting waiting for a voltage regulator to come in. Ten days ago I torqued it to 75 ft-lbs with the two gaskets. Today I noticed very small droplets of water around the gaskets. One gasket is metal faced and the other is not. Does not appear to have moisture in cylinders. I am wondering if the non-metal gasket could have some hydroscopic material in it that might be drawing moisture from the atmosphere?

Get it running, warmed up and recheck torque on the head bolts/studs. Usually a seepage will cure itself after running a while.
