Explanation of possible causes of coreloss in a 167 HP stator

Prior to rewinding a 167 HP stator, we performed a coreloss test (with a Lexseco Coreloss Tester) and obtained a result of 8.233 watts/lb loss (out of 10 - considered "marginal" by Lexseco). Once assembled, the pump drew high amps. We re-tested the wound stator in the housing and this time obtained a result of 22 watts/lb loss indicating that the loss was "too high". Any ideas?
