Nope! That's why they made cranks with longer con rods.
Nothing like getting stroked!

Get a paper sheet gasket thick one 1mm And trace it. Cut it. And use a office hole cutter punch . Taiwan. Stock crank has thicker rod and is a stock 41.4mm from Carlos.

Got my degree wheel ready. Where is the best place to get polini base gaskets?

Does the malossi crank have a longer con rod like the SEF?
