Mike B is no longer at JB Racing from what I understand. But he still participates on the forum. His username is MBruns if anybody wants to ping him. Good guy with a wealth of experience.
My point of sharing that info. isn't to suggest that we should all consider altering the case for the threaded insert. Just sharing another example of using Loctite to secure the squirter in place. The removable squirters are obviously for an engine that is opened up somewhat frequently

His squirters are a normal square head plug with a 1mm hole in there, no check valve, and require tapping the case. Not bad for a race car, but not right for a street car.
If there is worry about using Loctite 640 to secure the squirter, perhaps one shouldn't ride in a modern airliner that is all stuck together with adhesives and no rivets. Henkel, parent company of Loctite is behind all that aircraft adhesive as well. They know what they are doing.
My testing of 640 proves it to be nearly indestructible when kept within its heat range.
