No. You do not. It might be a good time to check the crankshaft end play, but I would not change it. The shims control the end float of the crankshaft. They go on the other side.

As long as it's the same flywheel being mated to the same crankshaft, I would not change a thing. (Which I am doing in the morning.) Jim
