Default SE Stage 1 Intake Breather Holes

I'm going to be modifying my SE Stage 1 intake back plate so I can route the crankcase breather to atmosphere.

What would be the best way to seal the holes inside the intake so whatever I seal them with does not get sucked into the intake? Would JB Weld or something similar bond to the back plate well enough the engine will not suck it out?

RTV or any silicon. One of the tuner guys on here suggested this and recommended to fill the breather bolt and to put a larger bubble of it on the outside of the opening to help prevent it from being pulled in. There's very little vacuum at the breather bolt so there's really no need to worry about it being ingested.

Your talking about the area near the breather bolt and not the intake plate itself?

Would 1/8" line be large enough to supply the vent for both heads if they are ran together into 1 line?

There's also another one explaining the silicon in the breather bolt. If I find it, I'll get back with you.

Edit: I searched but couldn't find that thread. Maybe SafetyMan will chime in or send him a private message.
