Hmm, I dunno. When I did the clutch on my H I figured the flywheel did plenty of turning while it was on the engine so it didn't need to be turned anywhere else :)

Sorry, I just had to say it.

The purpose of turning a flywheel, as I understand it, is to provide a clean flat surface for the clutch to grip to. Turning removes surface imperfections and glazing that builds up between clutches.

I don't think you can tell if a flywheel absolutely needs to be turned without a dial gauge to measure surface runout. There are some people who will tell you to turn the flywheel with every clutch replacement to maximize the life of the clutch disk.
