upper 2 thrott. plates dont open all the way...

i had my throddle body off, and i noticed my rear 2 upper plates open about 1/3 inch less than flat. whats up with that? is it to improve flow or just age on the parts? any thoughts?

On the two TBs i've worked on, neither of them seemed to have the secondary butterflies sit flat. It seems to be pretty normal, since their opening is delayed compared to the primary TB butterfly

There's likely slop in the little plastic bushings in the arms.
