The only way a 617 develops immunity is with a top notch battery and starter with good compression and properly adjusted valves and functioning glow plugs.

However, it's still a cold, miserable engine until it warms. When it's down below 20°F., I don't even think about moving it for 5-7 minutes (spent indoors!).
