Brass Fitting For Temp Sensor Popped Out Of Intake Manifold

Hi:

Ran into a problem installing a t-connection into the PI intake manifold for my new temperature sensor. The brass hex plug appeared to be loose and I pulled it right out. This is a friction fit with an o-ring, no threads. I searched the internet and found one thread from 5-6 years ago and that was it. The poster suggested that he was going to use JB Weld, a new o-ring and push it back in. There were no followup threads so I don't know how he made out.

Anyone else have this or aware of such a problem and how it might be fixed. I am confident that I can use an adhesive of some sort and use a c-clamp to press it back in but would like to hear from others who have found a solution that actually works. I have another intake with an aluminum coolant crossover that I just purchased on the way, but was planning on using it for a future build.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks, I will give the jb weld a try and see what happens. Hope I can avoid replacing right now.

UPDATE:
Thanks for the replies. Used JB Weld and pressed in with a c-clamp and let it set overnight. Have had it out a number of times and seems to be holding. In fact I think that it might actually be in better than it was originally.

I did try the bolt on the bottom of the engine which in my case was a recessed hex head. No luck, wasn't going to budge. I went back to the T fitting. Reading seems acurate and just in case, I "burped it". Just loosened the stock sensor in the T until it leaked fluid an the retightend. No air and it works fine.

Thanks, again.
