Technical - Flathead water in combustion chamber....Technical

After seeing the spark plugs die one after the other in a blaze of blackness & fuel-rich carbon it was time to get inside the motor. Water seeping through the head stud at No8.

I think I have a seeping set of alloy heads but not sure if it could be as simple as uneven torque across the head...
