[Healeys] Starter gear lube

[Bob Spidell]

You don't usually see any grease on flywheels or starter gears. May collect dirt, may not be necessary, most of it gets squeezed off anyway, etc. 

Last time I rebuilt a starter I sprayed some silicone oil on the bendix mechanism; 80K+ miles with no starter issues.

Is there anything that needs grease on the starter ring? 

Starter gear/flywheel ring? 

Starter gear shaft? 

I mated the engine and trans today. It took a while. They are so shy 
and don't like to mate in public. 

The engine/trans gets married back to the car on Friday!
