I should have been clearer that there was no rot as such. It was just the term used to describe it, although some of the cases seemed quite extensive.
I guess you just need a matching enamel paint than can sustain the temperatures reached by the engine. I've had a reasonable hunt and I can't find Pterodactyl's post. Maybe he just told me about it over a beer. Anyway, I'm sure one of the things he had to do was to cure the paint at a high temperature and he did it in the oven. Whether just running the engine for a while will do the job, I don't know.
