that is very true, idling is not good for any engine. were talking long extended periods like hrs at a time, even days.one example would be oil field vehicles in winter where they run steady from job to job and dont get shut down. many people use their vehicle as their motel. with this being said , this puts greater wear on the valve train components. such as camshaft lobes ,lifters, rockers and valve guides. this is due to the engine operating at low oil pres. at idle. thats why its important to run them at at faster idle,even to keep the diesels warmer. this 1/2 hr or 1 hr. stuff is not so critical as you need to warm an engine up and cant always being starting and stopping them which is no good either.when i worked in the garage i replaced many camshafts for this reason.and another reason , this idling really carbons up everthing in the combustion chamber.
