They can turn your crank by itself. BUT.....to make sure everything matches up it is a good idea to make sure they have everything, so they can check for spun main bearings, wear in the main caps, center line bore, etc. . AND..... unless you have a custom crank, it is usually just as cheap to replace the crank with a new one, due to the major amount of labor (time wise) that goes into setting up and turning a crank. What ever machine shop you are going to use, just call them up and ask them any shop questions that you have most will answer you, the ones that don't, I would not do business with.
