rusty cylinder walls?

I bought an engine off someone, took it apart and discovered that it had a blown headgasket, and had been sitting for some time. some of the cylinders have rust on the walls, as well as all kinds of gunk. I sprayed them down with WD40 to soak til tomorrow. My question is, if I took it to a shop and had it bored .030 over, do you think it would take care of the rust? it's not just a light surface rust like on bare metal just sitting out...of course I wouldn't know for sure without an actual machinist looking at it, but I just want to know if the cylinder walls can be saved or if I should go whoop some ass cuz I was told the engine was running when it was pulled
