About to install a new Hartzell constant speed on a new engine. I don't expect first run to be for another year.
Is it considered good practice to coat the hollow cavity in the nose of the crank with oil or grease, or spray the inside with WD-40? Thinking of corrosion.
Also, should the o-ring in the prop hub be lubricated with oil or vaseline (petroleum jelly)?
The Hartzell manual says to clean the propeller flange and the engine flange, but makes no mention of any other preparation.
Thanks,
