Not sure on the best way to remove the rust but most parts stores carry "engine" paint.

first use a degreaser to clean the engine, then purchase a couple cans of "rust eliminator" and spray down the engine, rinse off, do this step several times, it even helps to get a stiff steel brush and work the rust eliminator into the area you are treating. I would then hit it with degreaser yet again and rinse. After all that I would then paint the engine with engine paint with a rust proofing additive. I've seen the Rust Eliminator at NAPA for around $6 a bottle.
