Engine Rust 2019 RST

Just got around to cleaning my engine bay for first time and noticed a butt load of rust on the motor. Is this normal, or cause for concern?

Thats just rust on the exhaust exhaust manifolds. They're cast iron and always outside. Totally normal for them to have rust on them because they're outside and they get hot. If you're fussed about it, you could pull them off and have them media blasted and ceramic coated but honestly its no big deal. Brake rotors do the same thing if you don't drive your car for a week and leave it parked outside. Just the first time you drive it the brake pads polish the surface so you don't notice it.

Awesome. Thank you!

Awesome. Thank you!

Could even have them and the heads/intake manifold all portmatched. Pick up quite a few ponies with a cam.

This is normal IMO. Mine looks the same as yours.
