air plate lift effort

[Konstantin Bogach]

Hi listers.

Yesterday I changed air filter, cleaned air plate and cone on 200tqMC1
and I noticed that it need greater effort to lift a plate compare to my
another car - 200tqwMC2.  I did same things to it about 3 weeks ago. I
am 75% confident.  No jerks, both move smoothly. I can not come up with
even slightly reasonable explanation.
Am I fooled by my perceptions?
