I don't have access to the block now, so that is my reason for my question

So these shall be better and cheaper?
Must I cut them or something, they must be flat the same way the original (even with the alu surface) ?

I have no idea if the silicone plugs would work the same as stock. See reply by Nessism.
I don't know if they would fit. The taper may not be correct. I don't know. I would compare them to a new oem plug.
If the taper is correct, you might have to trim or cut them. no big deal. I would use a sharp razor blade.
Since Dr. Gamma says they aren't really needed, I would probably use the silicone plugs. assuming oem are too expensive or unavailable.
Or just fill the holes with high temp rtv as TexasKZ said.
