Howcome they were starved of oil though? maybe try an thinner oil like Shell Rimula R4X 15w40, it's a diesel oil but fine for classic cars as it's approved for petrol engines and has high Zinc and phosphorous for the camshaft, the Essex V6 specs 20w50 but when you start up a fresh engine you don't want oil pressure going through the roof so a thinner oil would be better
