1600 - Flywheel to Crank

Post by hambone » Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:33 am

Should a bit of grease be used where the crank mates to the flywheel, or should it be installed dry?
The rubber ring seal has been replaced and the groove cleaned, but thought I should ask this silly question too.
Gracias!

Thanks. It sure couldn't hurt. I wanted to ask anyway for posterity.
I wonder how much longer this knowledge will be useful?
