Reinstalling Waterpump ???
Do I need to put RTV on the 6 waterpump bolts and also on the waterpump gaskets? If so, will the regular Black RTV silicone work fine, or is there a special kind I need? Also, do I need to put some Dielectric grease on my plug wires on the Opti while Im there since this is all related to my Opti install?

I like to put RTV on the threads because a couple of those bolts I believe go into the water jackets and get pretty rusty if you don't.
Die-electric grease is also a good thing.

Yes most definatly put RTV lightly on the bolts if not you'll have a seep.
D-Grease on the terminals is a very good idea, if its forever befor you take them off again they will come off much easier and not possibly ruin a wire. (and keep away corrosion on the terminals)
