Change the oil often.  Adjust the valves often.  Don't cruise at 
constant speed for long periods of time (ie exercise the engine over 
a wide RPM range, occasionally up to its red line.)

And NEVER rev an engine to high rpms before the oil has had a chance 
to reach all the parts of an engine!  This may take the better part 
of a minute.  People who gun their engine a few times just after 
starting are just displaying their ignorance.
