Got a few rockers that have rust on them, I'm sure this is from when the car used be outside in the winter with a couple car covers on it. Lots of condensation. Now its garaged so its not an issue anymore. What should I do? Clean em? Replace em? They are comp cams chomoly ones. Here's a pic of one them.  ------------------

I'd take them apart and see how the bearing surfaces look. Assuming they are ok, clean them up with steel wool and oil, and reuse them.  SteveW

Yeah this is about the only one that looks like it may have got into the bearing area, the others have much smaller amounts. I'll take a closer look.thanks for the suggestion ------------------
