When I was first learning about diesels, I was taught that the most wear and tear takes place on the motor during start up and warm up stages. And then for gens, when they start up it is right to 1200RPM or what ever with a cold block dumping fuel through the blow by into the oil pan. I was told it was best to minimize start ups for hundreds of reasons. When you are swapping back and fourth every day, that is a lot of start ups verse running one gen for 250 hrs before another start up.
