If you really like the car, and want to know exactly what is going on with the engine, spend $30 and have the oil tested at Blackstone labs:
https://www.blackstone-labs.com/free-test-kits.php

They will be able to identify any problems in the engine based on what they find in the oil. You get a very detailed report back on what the oil has in it and commentary on what they see going on in the engine based on what was found in the oil.

I'd probably do this just to point out that he was lying to me. But then again, I've been told I'm an a-hole.

If the seller is calling you an a hole for pointing out a possible engine problem then it's time to walk. Only other option would be to contact the engine builder and see what he says about it and if this guy thats selling the car is the one that had the engine built
