It was a new converter that may have had the tolerance stack line up the wrong way. It happens sometimes.
Like a big crank, to the plus side of the tolerance, a housing bore to the tight side of tolerance and a bearing shell that is on the small side resulting in an unacceptable clearance problem.

I am trying to correct a few perceived future problems.

Yesterday after supper the house A/C died. We slept in a house that was 83 to 84 degrees. We just got it running. The start capacitor died. Installed a new one and has lowered the temperature one degree in 90 minutes. Heat index is close to 115*

Back after it today. Good start to the day I found my scale notes. When I started we weighed the car with me in it with all my stuff on and recorded all the numbers at each wheel. I then started adding weights in the seat and floor to mimic me in the seat and duplicate the scale weights. That comes a little later we still have ton of wires to connect.
