Just had my flywheel resurfaced. Only removed .011. I think it is the first time it has been turned. I can't find a shim washer in my stock less than .020. Do I even need to bother? And if so should I go thick at .020 or try to find a thinner washer?

While you could probably get by without a shim, I'd be inclined to use one. .020" should be fine. Clean the threads (both the stud and the case insert) and use Loctite on them
