Ya think? Cummins cranks are forged in China nowadays.....Id run it. Strokers dont turn alot of RPM's and if its in fact forged (yup, shot peening gives it the cast look) , Id think it would be plenty strong. "... the cranks are nitrated using a plasma gas nitrating process. This nitrating process penetrates approximately .014" deep into the steel, and raises the surface hardness of the cranks to a MINIMUM Rockwell hardness of 52-60 on the C scale..." That means the depth of the hardening is deeper than an initial .010 journal cut so you should be good to go. BTW you can weld up a forged crank too. Had a nasty .030 cut 340 forged crank spin a rod, crank shop welded journal up and recut it, could not tell it was even touched. The guy said it was a very good OEM crank.
