depends on what you did with the seal kit. If you honed the master
before fitting the new seals, its a bit early, if not its not more to be
expected, indeed it could wear faster than leaving the old seals in.
BTW, I never bother with replacement seals, as I don't have good
experiences with that sort of stuff. May be you should get the master
resleeved if no new ones are available.
