Default rain got inside engine?

ok, I had everything put back in after a headgasket replace, and head cleaned with 3 angle valve job, then got it set up to do a valve lash and didnt have time so I went to work and it rained that night so I got some rain inside of my engine. Thought that maybe a little got in only so after the valve lash I try to start her up and it was having a hard time.

Dumped out the old oil and what ever water that was in there and replaced it with fresh 5w30 mobile 1 syn. oil and finally started right up and I let it warmed up and everything seems fine only thing I noticed was water or looks to be antifreeze coming out from my header.

Could this have hurted my head or ???

thanks

you header is leaky water/anitfreeze? If so either your head is crack, your header stud went in too deep, or just left over fluid from the rain or head removal.

I hope its not my head cause I got it profressionally dissasembled, resurfaced head and cleaned with a 3 angle valve job, also motor was running fine before the all this happened.

I did replaced my header stud but I replaced it with hardware grade 8.8 and they were the same length as oem one's.

I'm going to start it up again and let it idle longer and see if it stops.
