Default water on spark plug

I have noticed small water drops on a couple of my spark plugs ,the back 2 on the right side of the motor but mostly on the second from the back. I have a 572 with lightning headers,is this reversion or just condensation? I have been playing with thermostats to get rid of condensation,trying to get more temp in the oil which i seemed to have solved that problem with a 160 thermostat with 2 3 /16 holes in it.

condensation would only end up in the oil, so if you are getting water on the plugs, you have a revision, exhaust, or some internal coolant leak....Rob

since it is consistantly on the same plug does that point to one thing more than the other as far as where the problem stems from, or is this nothing to worry about?

Reversion is not something to think about but 'get fixed'. It will not go away on its own. You should think about pressure testing the exhaust system, checking leaks. Letting the reversion continue will lead to more expensive problems. God luck.
