All right you power hungry dudes/dudettes, please tell an ignorant bastard like
me what some light engine mods are that will promote long engine life!

For instance, I've heard it would be a good idea to swap out the stock rocker
arms for some roller rockers for longer engine life. Is this true? Do I
replace/upgrade the push rods and springs while I'm at it?

Please note, I'm not setting the truck up for racing use. I just want to make
the improvements that will give me a strong and more bullet proof engine for my
wheeling adventures and day to day use. Besides, I like tinkering with it! :-)

Some bolt on stuff I've done so far on my '98 318:

JBA Headers
180 T-Stat
Magnacore Wires
Cat-Back Exhaust
Open Element Air Cleaner (FABM)
Synthetic Oils

Planned Mods:
