That type and amount of corrosion seems indicative of the presence of water! Did the head show any signs of coolant leakage and is there any water in the oil? Otherwise maybe just humidity but it seems excessive for that. The amount of carbon buildup also seems to indicate a poorly set carburetor and ignition or maybe burning gasoline that is borderline too old.
