From what I have heard that depends upon the diesel. My friend spent $10,700 CDN a few years ago rebuilding a Detroit Diesel in his boat because of a lubrication failure the techs tied to his not running the 2 cycle engine hard enough. They told him that that particular engine is designed to run at close to full power, and my friend used to toodle around at near-idle with it because two of these engines could run his AVRO-Richardson 36 at hull speed with very little effort. But I think that Detroit Diesel is an odd duck, and the rules of operation for that 2 cycle shouldn't necessarily carry over to elderly 4 cycles just because they burn oil for fuel.
