If you DO want to grease the teeth, use Vaseline, it will melt & mix O.K. with the motor oil & NOT clog up the oil pump screen. It's commonly used in assembling automatic transmissions. John G. once did an automatic, using the old white Lubriplate, what a MESS, valves sticking & screen partially clogged, because that crap wouldn't melt & blend with the oil!!! He had to take it out & COMPLETELY disasemble it to clean it out!!
