Default Old engines vs new

A newer computerized diesel will have better fuel metering and
atomization. Also, tighter injection timing. Not to mention better
engineering of the engine mechanicals, better balancing, etc.
No mystery.

Why does an older enginr(class 8 diesel) vibrate more than
a new(newer) motor, same manufacturer?

i.e. what changes are happening as an engine ages/wears
that increases vibration/shake?

thanks
