spray WD40 almost everywhere then when your ready to install the head brake clean the parts that will contact your headgasket.

The head itself shouldn't be rusting. It's aluminum...

He's probably referring to the valvetrain and rocker assembly. In which case some WD40 or good ol' motor oil will work
