bring the idle up to where you have decent oil pressure, at idle most of our Toyota diesels produce poor presure, even at 1200 rpm you have much better oil pressure.
as for glazing the walls, if the engine is burning the fuel being delivered and if you have the fuel setting properly set, why would the fuel wash the walls?
it is MUCH harder on an engine starting not plugged in cold weather than any amount of idling will do.
just my view of the matter.
If you'd have been on the Russian front with the German Army in WW2 like my dad was you'd have had reason to run ALL your engines 24-7! They never shut anything off!
