Sabre Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Should I apply a thin smear of high melting point grease on the splines of the spigot shaft before installing the engine ? I have been advised not to, but I cannot imagine those splines taking the drive from the clutch plate bone dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
