well, put it this way.

At work we have 4 diesel engines.
They're massive... were talking 1000hp per cylinder and if I remember correctly, theres 12 of them.

They're hardly ever run, only tested for 24 hours, 1 every other week. They're kept warm and can be started and be upto full load within 14 seconds I believe.

There's been the task of going around each diesel, pulling the pistons and liners and deglazing (honing) the cylinder liners because they'd becomed polished from the lack of running and duty placed on them.
