Ah okay, so I need to remove the engine cover and clean the block and fins? Probably a yearly item right? LOL
Might use a good rust converter like Corroseal, primer and a little paint too.

Well even Briggs is ridiculous priced the rocker it is still better to replace as costs about the same a bottle of that rust convertor. Plus don't developing a hole in that thin metal later from the continuing rusting.
But of there folks that will spend 10x as much trying to avoid buying the correct parts.
If the op want to remove the rust he could use electrolysis method. Here I use a 60W solar panel and white vinegar. Brings it down to bare metal. Then you clean off the vinegar, air dry with a blower, and then paint it with Rust-Oleum paint.

If you want to remove rust just sand it down or wire wheel it.
Once converted spray away. Could use Corroseal on other projects too
Better to get a new cover no doubt.

I have to say that I half assed it. I couldn't get to the nut in the back that holds the engine cover on, so I gave up. i did pry the cover up and spray degreaser behind it.
