Default prob hub gasket?

Im at the hangar hanging the prop and an interesting question has come up. Is there supposed to be a "gasket" to go between the prop hub (hartzell CS) and the flywheel? Im not talking aboit the o-ring inside the front of the cranshaft, nor the crank seal.

The o-ring is new as is the prop. Does the o-ring get a coat of grease or oil before install to the engine?

Yes put a film of oil on it to ensure you get a good clean seal.

Cheers
