The guy has no clue what he is talking about and was just grasping at straws (using the info you gave him) to try to back out of his poor workmanship and warranty on the engine.

Aviation Engines typically can go 200 hours or in car miles (35,000) assuming a speed of 175 mph on average with basically just oil changes and adding fuel to the tanks. AND they do not have valve issues.

Actually they last around 1400-2000 hours depending on the brand and type (turbo or non-turbo).
