• Sorry for the multiple posts...I'm getting obsessed about this rust issue.
  
  Here is another Falk engine that has similar though less severe rust: https://i.etsystatic.com/15447190/r/il/09192e/6663786440/il_1588xN.6663786440_ceke.jpg
  
  I suspect the black paint exasperated the rust issue on your 145/1, compared to this engine.
  
  
  The overtop engine in the photo is for sale for $226.77, if anyone's interested:

  Enough for now, I've got to organize supper.  Best of luck!
