Gl1100 coolant leaking into right cylinders ?

Just rebuilt top end of goldwing 1100 , heads skimmed , pressure tested , new head gaskets etc, when I filled with coolant then turned engine over with plugs removed , coolant sprayed from plug orrifice, coolant is flowing straight into right side cylinders only . Any ideas, cracked block ? is that possible

The pressure test should have identified any leaks between the coolant system and cylinder, or any problem with the new head gaskets. A leak after rebuild like this prior to running for the first time could be incorrect torque loading of the head or a stress crack due to overtorquing
