Default water drops on headgasket while assembly ?

After more than seven years of building engines it is the first time that some drops of water dropped onto the headgasket while putting the head on the block.

Usually I install it without any drops of water, so I can not say if itīll cause a problem later.

Unfortunatly I noticed it after tourqing the head. :-(
Can somebody tell me from experience if itīll cause a problem.

Otherwise Iīll take the head off tomorrow an install a new headgasket.

PS: It was a cometic...

are you serious? not trying to be smartass, but some water on the headgasket is not gonna caus any problem, even if you pour some oil on it it would still seal. after the motor runs it will dry that water up real good.
nothing to worry about.
