Took the carb off for rebuild and the inside of the intake shows corrosion. It almost looks like it's going to flake off in places. Is this normal for a cast iron intake or should I be trying to clean it up?

that doesnt look all that bad, wipe it with a oily rag, and clean up any flakes that break loose?
just a thought
