Default 1182 crank purchase

Just received an 1182 crank that was advertised as std. std. The rods are std, and look perfect. Mains have been ground .010, but they also still look perfect, and it is apparent the crank was run after it was ground.

I can return it, but have to pay return shipping. I haven't seen a std. std. (other than the one in my current LT 1) in a while, so am contemplating keeping this one.

My only concern is that the factory "Tufftride" heat treatment has been removed. I know it is still a forged crank, and frankly, believe the heat treating is probably more important on the rods than the mains.

This is going in a high winding long rod (6&quot 350 that will see 7500 rpm. Would you run it, or hold out for a std. std. crank (if I can find one).
