A couple things will work some more permanent than others. First you could have the valve covers and intake manifold clear coated, needless to say you would have to remove. Depending on the component you could spray silicone on it. Any bolts or nuts etc just remove a couple at a time and spray paint with engine enamel. I will try to find the name but there is an aluminium protectant spray big in the motorcycle industry that will protect, just spray it on and it last 24 months. I had the same thing in Houston right before Christmas, I had thought it rained in the garage. I do not use a car cover, heck let it get dusty, unless you are protecting from accidental bumps or storing for a prolonged period the car cover is kinda a pain.
