Hello everyone! I was wanting to get some insight on hi temp threadlocker. I replaced my wifes 2011 Prius fuel injectors around 2 weeks ago. In doing so I cross threaded/stripped one of the fuel rail bolts. There are two fuel rail bolts and the other holds tension just fine. We will be going on a total of around 2k miles including mountain driving next weekend. Would it be a good idea to put the red hi temp threadlocker on the fuel rail bolt that holds tension or just leave it be? I do not have time to fix the thread on the fuel rail bolt just yet so I was seeing this as being an easy/temporary solution. What is the general consensus on this? I know the proper answer is fix the threads on the loose bolt and that will happen. The car has been driven around 500 miles since the injector swap and the rail is just fine. The bolt that is fine is the one that is circled green in the attached image. The one that is stripped (threads in the hole are shot also) is the one circled in red.
Here is the threadlocker I have
