Water problem

Does anyone else have trouble with water getting down in around spark plugs and grounding then out and will not run on that cylinder. Is there something I can do about it ? To keep the water out . Boots are good . I was thinking about putting silcone around the boots ??
 
I always put dieltric grease around the boots where they go into the cam cover and where the plug goes into. Make sure the arrows on the boots are pointing forward, it's on the flat part of the boot that sits on the cover. There is a "pressure relief" hole that needs to be aligned up correctly. Even with all that, if you leave the bike on the side stand and it gets rained on, the valve cover just happens to allow water to pool on the left side, #1 plug is the most likely to get "water logged" even with all the precautions.
