Peter White has said before that premature failure of a Phil bottom bracket is due to the bottom bracket shell threads not being aligned.
Here's an excerpt from one of these discussions: "For a Phil Wood BB to last, the frame's BB threads must be chased with a tool that indexes one side of the shell with the other so that the threads on each side share a common axis. Campagnolo and a few other companies make tooling that, when used properly, ensures that the threading is correct, and then, and only then, will you get the full life of the Phil Wood bearings." from here: http://search.bikelist.org/getmsg.asp?Filename=touring.10709.0545.eml Makes sense to me.
