It's up to you, but if the top half of my engine was coming off, I'd be replacing that coolant pipe and o-ring or making sure that it is a part of the kit they're installing.
It would be bone crushing, if 1 or 2 years down the road, you've got a coolant leak coming from that seal and now you're at $1200+ to replace it.
