starter/flywheel

[clasavi]

All,
I removed the starter this weekend for maintance. When i reinstall it, should i use grease on the flywheel?

Thank you

No, just put it on dry. The grease would only hold grit and cause more wear than normal.

With the engine running it will just sling the grease inside the bell housing...
Useless really....No need for it but if it makes you feel better...oil it..
