Unhappy coolant in new forged engine

Hello everyone, the other day I finished my forged engine and was able to drive it for 30 miles, the car felt good, until I took out the spark plugs and put the chamber in the pistons

I could see the presence of collant in all 4 cylinders (perhaps in number 3 the most notable) I have not noticed water consumption but I have not driven the car enough

In a couple of days I will receive the pressure checker but I wanted to know if something like this has happened to anyone else

Both the engine plane and the cylinder head were machined, with a Cometic gasket and ARP bolts that I installed strictly following the instructions.

Anyone who has had a similar situation and can give me information I will be grateful

Coolant in the cylinders is definitely not good. Have you considered the possibility of a cracked head or block? It's rare but can happen, especially with newly machined parts. Maybe get a professional opinion before driving it more?
