Hey everyone,
I just pulled the breather hose off one of the heads and along with the hose came the hose barb post
After I cleaned up the fitting it now slides in and out of the head with ease. How is that fitting attached to the head?

Supposed to be a slight interference fit.
Oval it slightly and pound it back in
or
Thread the hole for a hose barb
or
Try sticking it with some JB Weld
or
Wrap one layer of electrical tape around it and jam it back in
or
Put it back in and dimple the aluminum around the hole with a punch, called "staking" it.

try the epoxy method (jb weld).

Thanks for the advise. I'll try and oval out the fitting first. If that doesn't work I'll use JB weld.

Thread it and put in a brass barbed fitting.
