Some motors need to be shimmed where the flywheel and the crankshaft mate up when you mill down the flywheel surface. The reason is that the input shaft may not have enough engagement with the clutch disc and the solution is to shim it out the amount that was milled off.

I can say with certainty that I have never had to have a flywheel shimmed out on an SR. If your shop had to remove enough surface that you need a shim, the flywheel is trashed.
