That water is meant to be in the gap.
Thats how the engine keeps itself cool.

To reseat the valves, use some grinding paste as you know, and clamp the valve stem into an eletric drill... spin the drill up gently, and gradually back the valve up against the seat, works a treat:

Local motor spares store, the most common one is Chemico or something, only a couple of quid usually.
