I've never warmed up an engine more than the time it takes to run smoothly, and we have never, to my knowledge, damaged on doing so. We live in the country (so far, anyway), so no hard driving until Highway 41, about a mile and a half away. Start it up, run till it idles smooth, and drive off. Never drive very hard anyway, so it warms up fine at 35-40 mph and light throttle.
