One reason is you bought a rebuilt crate engine from someone other than Chevrolet. Jasper engines are known for failing. I have never heard of a ZZ4 350 crate engine failing.

I bought a small block Chevy, crate engine, through Jasper several years ago to put in my boat. It seemed like an economical alternative to rebuilding the one I had. Long story short, it failed about 30 days out of warranty. When we took it apart to see why, it had been over-bored and sleeved. Who sleeves a small block gas engine ?!! Just wondering if there is a reliable mass-production engine builder/rebuilder, performance or stock, out there ?
