Sorry, but don't waste your time. Wait for a set of stainless ones.
You will spend more time than it is worth, and wait until you try to seat a set of old exchangers to your heads. Very high probability of breaking an exhaust stud.

Then don't do anything - until you decide on the motor. If it's only surface rust they'll work just fine.
