sitting engines, rust on valvetrain?!?

I have a 1989 5.5L M117 and a 1976 OM616 sitting in my shop and I decided to look in the valve covers tonight and what did I see?

Rust!

on the M117 I saw it on the top of a cam lobe and the OM616 I saw it on the part of the cam between the lobes

is this normal?

what should I be doing to deal with this?
