Almost all engine wear occurs from start up. To the time that the engine is at normal operating temps. The condensation (water) in the exhaust system. Doesn't get removed until your RPM's are up for an extended period of time. 5 to 10 miles. Getting the engine temps up only. Will not remove that water.
Now to the carb. If you still have one. Every time you start your engine . The float bowl fills with gas. That gas will then evaporate out after shut down. Leaving a deposit of heavy material on the inside of the carb. That will have to be removed at a later date. EFI systems don.t have this issue.
Every time that I park our GMC for over a month. I take it for a ten-mile trip down a highway. Park it where you plan to leave it. The old BUZZ boxes are very hard on batteries. Plug the shore power in. (Use a battery maintainer if you don't have a newer 12V converter.)
Third step. Walk away. Other points welcomed.
