Hey folks
So, I am attempting my first top-end rebuild on a motor. I have a 1997 Seadoo GTX with the 787 engine that I have had honed, crosshatched, and matched to new pistons. I am getting ready to reassemble everything, and I see in the manual that it calls for "Synthetic Grease" to be used on the cylinder bolts as well as the head bolts. I'm assuming its to ease the re-assembly and provide a layer of corrosion protection. I'd rather not purchase another $30 tube of Bombardier-branded grease (which I'll have to wait a week for the shipment to arrive) if I have something that will suffice in the garage. My feeling is that 2-4-C would be the same stuff. Any opinions?
