You could try some Evaporust. You'd need a pan big enough to hold the timeing cover and enough evaporust to submerge the cover. They also have a gel product, but I haven't had the best luck with that. It needs to be kept wet to work. A wire wheel will get it clean if there aren't pits. Check the Tech Tips page for some info on Rust Removal

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
