Just a few minutes probably does more harm to the engine than good. I guess it was more to reassure myself that it will start when I need it than for anything else. Letting it idle for an hour or so would probably be better but without any load on it, maybe not. There is no insurance on the vehicle so taking it for a drive is not possible without a large expense.<br /><br />Thanks guys, this is how we learn things.<br />Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-73660447754053851582014-08-03T17:06:42.584-07:002014-08-03T17:06:42.584-07:00I bet you the Tioga would like a night or two away...I bet you the Tioga would like a night or two away once in awhile!

Without getting to full operating temperature, it can cause condensation in the cylinders. Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.com
