Yes ;
Running them hard (NOT thrashing , floating the valves etc.) keeps the carbon from building up and also constant fresh fuel prevents deposits and sometimes softens and washes away old gunny deposits in the fuel system , leading to better all 'round starting and running .

I did a valve adjustment on my 300TD earlier this year.
Either two or three of the ten were tight.
I can't remember now.
Before that was 3 years ago.
Maybe 4 were tight then.
Still . . . it made some difference.
The OM617 in my jeep was another story.
Did them 2 months ago.
At least half were tight.
Made a real difference.
By the way . . . When I first put that engine in my jeep last year it would surge and rock at idle and would almost certainly die several times before it warmed up. Now (after 6 months, a few Italian tune-ups, and several thousand miles) it starts pretty well and the rocking and surging is gone at cold idle. It's surprising. As if using it has healed it.
