Could depend on how many miles you have on it and how it was driven,(Raced or Hwy Miles etc.)
Inspect it for excessive play and oil leakage.Let us know the condition and possibly we can make recommendations.You might be able to just re-use it as is.

When I had my motor out, the machine shop decided to turn mine, even though I had not asked for it- so far, seems fine.
That said, I'd inspect and see if it needs it or not. And if it does, call around and ask specifically about it -- I've heard that some have developed specific fixturing to deal with the dual-mass units. Keep in mind that these are also used on other vehicles too (like diesel pickups) so it's not just a corvette thing, and not exactly an exotic request.

In the FSM there is a procedure for checking the internal springs.
Outer disk move relative to inner disk - shoot a while back someone posted a link to a video that shows one in operation. Really cool looking.
