Make, model, year ....?
Members are constantly coming in and looking for answers but leaving out the most important information! The year, model, make of your ski/boat is very important in helping you to get a job done. So many of the times, we are left to guess..........not good!
But, for the moment, your question is generic. Molykote is a brand name, made by Dow. You can use any synthetic grease you please on the threads. It's basically used to allow you to run the threads in to get a good torque........
Please, put your ski's info in your avatar for future use. Had this been a question like, "what type spark plug", .........you'd have not gotten an answer.
Please dont' take this as being rude. You just have no idea on how many members get upset because their questions go un-answered. Lack of that info is usually the reason why............:cheers:

No rudeness taken.
Thanks for the info. I updated my avatar. The ski I am currently working on is the 2002 GTI. The manual also says to use Loctite 518 on the o rings. Should it be used on all the O rings of just the one between the head and domes?

Too expensive....
With Loctite, your buying into the name brand. When it comes to the thread locker compound, I but nothing else. This was it's original product. It's great for locking threads.....
But for what your asking now, ........I'd use Permatex black (high heat) sealant that you can buy from your local auto parts store, for half the price of the Loctite. It's just a type of silicone sealant.
Also, remember, a little bit goes a long way. Don't over use the product.:cheers:
