Well, no, what I have is thicker on one side so from the outside it looks bent. What I also have is a nice worn ring around the inside of the throttle body. It looks as though enough extra air is getting around there to explain why the idle-setting only barely comes down to spec with the adjusting screw fully in. I wonder what would work to build that back up to its original dimension. It would have to be oil-resistant.
>2) How much end play of the throttle shaft is considered acceptable? I'm still curious about that.
