Default rebuilt motor,,water out the tailpipe

When i start the car it starts to spit water litte small drops of it,,and when i back up spits a whole lot then,i dont see any drop of coolant anywhere and does not use any coolant or oil.Cylinders are dry when i look in the spark plug hole.Also i let the car sat on a half tank of gas for three months and used that gas to start up my rebuilt motor.

Any suggestions on why it does this.It has a brand new oem head gasket.

Sounds like that's just an after effect to letting it sit for that long and/or condensation. As long as it's not using coolant (or the 'water' doesn't smell like coolant) you should be ok. Might want to run some new gas through to see what it does.

That's normal, all cars do that. Let us know if it happens after you start it after you've been driving it for a while and it has sat for a couple of hours.

You're 100% fine. It's just condensation like everyone is saying. When you run it, it gets hot enough to evaporate it...so when it sits for a little bit it just comes out as water. Here in PA it gets real humid in the summer and you see cars dripping water out the tailpipe quite frequently.
