Delta 600 shower faucet still leaking after rebuild
We have a Delta 600-type faucet in one shower that had a longstanding slow drip from the shower head. So I bought a rebuild kit and replaced the ball and collar, as well as the springs and seals. Drip stopped for a few days, then came back. I tightened the notched ring and managed to get it to stop, but again it came back in a few days. This happened several more times, and at this point the ring is so tight that the handle action is pretty stiff. But the leak is back again.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? This is my first time repairing one of these. Thanks!

What brand was the rebuild kit? I would get a Delta brand kit, not a aftermarket kit sold at many home centers, and try again.
