A 617 will warm up to pretty much operating temp within 10-15 mins of idling....depends on the idle speed. My dad's winter SD idles around 900 (on purpose) and it warms up pretty quick.
Longest I've left mine running/idling in the cold was maybe an hour....when it was quite cold (5-10F) and the engine temp/oil temp did not fall below 80C.
