Is this something to be worried about??

Hey guys, I was taking a peek under the hood of my 91 T/A with a 305 TPI engine and i found this rust on the valve covers... or whatever they're called...



Is that something I should be worried about? Are they hard to replace?

Don't worry about it. If you think it looks bad, you can take them off and repaint them. They are easy to remove and cheap to replace.

Thanks! Yeah I think I might paint or replace em sometime just for looks because this car has been sitting for about a year before I got it in early August this year. It runs like a top, it just got kinda corroded and yucky from sitting so long.
