Default Coolant in #2 cylinder

Well due to the fact that i have a nice miss on my fresh built 331 stroker with only 2k miles i decided to figure out what it is. I found coolant in the #2 cylinder. The head gaskets i decided to use were cometic head gaskets. I had the trickflow aluminum heads resurfaced and checked while i was building the motor. So i have yet to find a reason why this is happening. I can only think of a few reasons, a bad head gasket or a cracked head.

Anyone have any other ideas what would cause coolant to go into #2 cylinder like maybe a intake leak would cause it. From my understanding coolant only goes across the front of the intake to cylinder 1 and 5 am i correct on this or would a intake leak cause coolant to go into a cylinder?

Fords are notorious for leaking the head gasket upon intial start thats why you have to retorque after warm up and cool down.

I thought that was just for the lower intake?
