Engine Oils Fact or Fiction

My mechanic, who was considered reputable at one time, is dead set on the fact he has lost multiple engine rebuilds over the past two years due to new standards for engine oil.

He has had two rods fail in the crank post rebuild twice and claims the remedy is a larger 964 Oil pump and use Lucas Hot Rod oil. The mechanic mentioned he’s been rebuilding Porsche engines for 30 years, relatively the same way, yet now they are all failing. I’m curious if others are seeing this with rebuilt rebuilt engines regarding the oil or my mechanic is just way past his prime.
