it's also possible that the reason parts failed in the first place have not been repaired. I.E. the glow plugs may be failing because of soot buildup around them resulting in hotter glows with more difficult starting... also the starter having to crank a car with weak glow plugs and low compression would impart additional load that the new motor did not have...
I'm just sayin...
