Erwabo,
welcome to this wonderful and sometimes frustrating, yet very addicting hobby!!
When the guy at the hobby shop told you to "just toss that engine, it not worth fixing" what he really meant was "You need to buy a new engine from me!".. I am not sure that I would patronize any business that suggests "tossing out" an engine, especially one that is of the pedigree level of a Saito...
You are getting very good information from the others here on RCU, so just keep asking questions, and you will continue to get quality advice!!! I do want to re iterate what has been said several times, because its so very important....... Be very careful, those props can bite you very quickly, and they can bite hard!! Those spinning props are invisible!!
On a silly note, for some reason, the title of your thread "Glow plugs and Older Engines" sounds like it would make a great title for a Country Song!! ;-)
Craig.
