508,
I think you're seriously over reacting.
Certianly won't hurt to pass but these engines could be fine.

Declaring something to be bad on a forum frequently goes over the top and people avoid it like a plague. In this case it's just something to file away and pull it out if there are signs that the reported idling indeed may have caused problems. Also the guy may have started the engine every year or so but didn't want to admit it. If you had done that and the engines ran fine what would you do? The comment by yourself that he seemed proud of his efforts are an indication that perhaps he's trying to fool you. Just say'in.
