crank vent tube?

[72240Z]

When I took my engine apart last January for a rebuild, the tube on the front of the block that attaches to a hose then to the PCV valve came out of the blockwith little to no resistance. this is a metal pipe about an inch in diameter, on the driver's side near the front of the engine. I'm assuming this is supposed to be a press fit? I'm thinking about making sure it stays with a touch of JB Weld or something similar. Thoughts?

JB Weld will do it alright, but you will never get it out again. I would try expanding it a bit. Perhaps a muffler shop could do it if they have a small enough tool for the diameter.

Something like this might work:
