Don't sand the pad with sandpaper, it will scratch it up. That will ruin the factory broach marks and then it will look like someone messed with the stamping. Use some fine steel wool to remove the rust. The least abbrasive the better and go with the broach mark grain.

I have talked to some people and they have suggested I try navel jelly to remove the rust. I have tried to take pictures but they are not showing up good enough to post. I have used a pencil and piece of paper and penciled over the area to show the numbers on the paper. It is VO205MO. I will leave the navel jelly for a couple days and see if it works. I have also put kerosene in the bores trying to loosen up the engine.

there should be a vin number also by that assembly date code, if the vin matches your car its the original motor.
