It's more critical when dealing with hydraulic throwout bearings:

FLYWHEEL MACHINING
Flywheel resurfacing is critical to clutch performance and longevity. It is extremely important to restore
the proper step dimension where applicable. Dimensions for maintaining the proper step can be found in
the ARI Clutch catalog, Alldata or Mitchell on Demand. There is no specification for maximum
machining of a flywheel. However, the amount of material a flywheel is machined can vary anywhere
from .005 to .050 of an inch, depending upon its condition. Removing too much material from the
flywheel can cause release problems. The clutch set up geometry is changed as the overall thickness of a
flywheel is reduced; in fact, the clutch assembly is moved further away from the release bearing.
Flywheel shims are often available to solve this problem. ARI does NOT recommend this procedure.
Shimming will not allow the starter drive to engage the ring gear properly. Use of flywheel shims could
encourage installation of a flywheel that is too thin and flywheel balance could be compromised. Lack
of structural integrity may cause a "thin" flywheel to explode.
ARI recommends using one of their Quality Remanufactured Flywheels with each clutch installation.
