Last year I read article(s) saying it's WORSE to run your engine "once in a while" or even regularly on the ground to prevent corrosion. Their point was that unless you get the engine to operating temperature and KEEP it there for a certain length of time you would not boil out any accumulated water. For what it's worth, their assertion was that it was better to stop the engine after a good flight and leave it than to run it weekly.

Pickling does not solve all of the problems of a idle engine.
