Rust on intake valves?

I pulled the injectors and found some crap in the fuel rail. When I looked at the intakes valves, they look to have a rust ring around the edges, and one has more rust toward the center of it. Is this normal or is there water getting in from somewhere? Should I be worried about it?

TIA,
Nathan

Sure its rust? Normally you would only see rust there if the car sat for a while without running.

Wow I just realized that I had this thread going! I did use some Lucas oil fuel system treatment and it seems to run better. The more I think about it I don't think it was rust, but it was a brownish color, maybe from the fuel burning? I drive the car daily, mostly to and from school about 15 miles round trip, but I do travel to SoCal that's about 800 round trip here and there.

Thanks guys. I'm selling my car so I want to make sure everything is in good shape before it goes to the next owner. Found a how-to sticky for changing the fuel filter so I'll be doing this when I change my oil!
