machining flywheels - a problem w/ hydraulic clutches?

subj. says it all...
I think I remember legacy777 saying years ago that machining a flywheel can change the engagement point in a subee hydraulic clutch...because the hyd. clutch is designed to meet the flywheel at a certain point, and if its machined...the meeting point will be closer to the engine, and screw it up. I kinda remember that maybe the flywheel could be shimmed or something...but anyways, I think I remember my flywheel being machined by the previous owner when he did the clutch. So I'm thinking it shouldn't be done again at any rate. Leaving me to get a used flywheel or a new stock flywheel or a lightweight flywheel....I don't know. Decisions...I hate them.
Thanks
