IMO the only thing worse looking that a rusty engine is one covered with over spray.
Masking engines can be difficult because of all the odd shaped stuff to cover. My solution is to use aluminum foil.
I crush the foil over all the shapes I don't want painted and then use tape at the edge of the foil to mask the fine line at places like hose ends. The foil holds itself to the parts and the tape makes fine line. Works much better than masking paper.
