Did anyone else have a driveface issue with the malossi crank for the dio motor? #537604? Its seems there is play and not really a snug fit on the crank when you tighten the nut. Its like it dont fit tight on the crank.

yea kingkame just came to a similiar conclusion hit him up for a solution

When i added a thin washer it locked down fine. Im gonna try get a oem honda zx drivenface and see how it fits

The zx one will expose the splines even more. The castle gear sits lower on the zx than the af16 one. The zx one sits lower due to the boss is longer. the mushroom gear won't hit it when you put the trans cover on. That's why the guys that use the zx boss with the af16 drive face,they have to shim the trans cover so that it clears the drive face

Yeah if i go with the zx face im getting the boss and a rear clutch

The Malossi crank 53 7604 is made for the Dio ZX. The crank has longer splines than the af16 to accommodate the longer drive boss that the ZX trans. uses.
If your running the "S" trans. When you put the drive face on the crank the longer splines stick out of the drive face just a little bit. So when you put the OEM washer on. The washer hits the splines causing it not to make contact with the drive face. Allowing the drive face to still move around.

One fix is to run the ZX trans.

If you want to retain the S trans. You need to find a washer that has a little bit bigger hole so it will clear the splines and make contact with the drive face. Than put the nut on and torque correctly. Most of the people that I have sold this crank to were already running the ZX trans so I didnt know about this problem until recent. I am now including a washer in with the cranks I sell. And if anyone needs a washer ill send it to you.
