Agree with Dan, that some rebuilders do a better job than others. But also, while you have it apart, check that your parts are compatible. The only thing that I can think of would be a mismatch between the push rod & M/C. And I don't think that it would go together with incorrect parts....but it might. Also are you using the correct push rod hole in the brake pedal assembly? There might also be other things that could effect longevity.
