Renix dist. ( up and down play in shaft? )

I noticed on my '89 when I pulled dist. cap to check the rotor, I could turn the rotor counter clock wise a little bit and while turning that way I could lift it up a bit, Does this sound normal?
 
Mine does that, I never noticed it to cause any grief. There is a shim in the shaft that wears and can even wear to the point of disappearing completely. Side play seems IMO to be much more critical.
 
a little bit of play like that is normal.
 
Slight play up and down is normal. The shim can be replaced but I have 400,000 on this dizzy (3rd motor) and it is still intact.
