Scott:
  You didn't fill the dashpots with oil to within 1/2" of the top did you?  
That's how your post reads.  The damper oil is supposed to be added 
until "using the damper as a dipstick its threaded plug is approximately 1/4" 
above the dashpots when resistance is felt" (Practical Hints for the 
maintenance of the Triumph TR3).  This is a very tiny amount.  Overfilling will 
cause the symptoms you describe.
