If you really want it to last you that long you gunna have to go inside the block. Forged pistons are good, shotpeened rods, even a block guard if your gunna b reving it high

It really depends on how well it was built and how you plan on driving it in the future.

I've heard with ls/vtec setups its important to use arp rod bolts and head studs for reliability. (lol just noticed he just posted that a split second before me)

Really, like "honda pride" said, it would be best to crack it open and check everything out. Also, replace most of the gaskets and do a timing belt while your at it.
