The high mile chevy is a 454,so did not have the piston slap problem of the small blocks. Where I dId see results similar to yours is with my standby genset. It uses a 200 Ford 6 cyl and gets test run every 30-60 days. With mineral oil in the engine,a dry start after 30-60 days non use would make a piston and rod clatter that made me grit my teeth until the oil pressure came up and quieted everything. With synthetic oil in the engine and the same 30-60 day drain down period, the engine is quiet from the first turn. aparently the synthetic oil does not drain off pistons and bearings like mineral oil.
