Topic: 2 quick '90 NA Miata questions:
1. Should I put anything on the crankshaft before putting on the crankshaft gear? (like oil, standard grease, neverseize, brake pad high temp grease)
(Next time I'll buy a 'puller', but I'm looking for best practices, and I'm definitely NOT a mechanic, so I really don't know about this. Any help would be appreciated; I'm doing this Saturday morning (tomorrow). I finally have everything together, and time to finish (I hope) timing belt and water pump on '90 NA Miata (all day Saturday if necessary).)
This was the result of me trying to pry off the gear (I did a LOT of cleaning in that general area):

2. Do these plugs suggest a problem? (_other than_ it was WAY TOO LONG since the plugs were changed in this car)
