Got new Dipstick Tube from Nissan

So i got a new dipstick tube from Nissan because my original z31 dip stick tube was to loose and it wont fit my vg33 due to it getting stretched when taken off. So i was wondering whats the correct way to go about installing it. Is it just tapped in? because the old one was really stuck in their and i wouldn't want to just beat the new one in and risk bending it unless i have to. Ive looked in both my Hanyes manual and FSM and theirs nothing on it. Thanks in advanced

Fabbed vg33 pickup tube

Hi everyone, i was wondering if you guys think this pickup tube i made would be strong enough. I had to modify the original z31 pickup tube and pan to fit the vg33. I mig welded/brazed it and im worried that i should have tig welded it. I posted some pics below. I remember trying to break it over my knee and couldn't but im worried about vibrations. Im just wondering if you guys were me if you would worry about it. Thanks you guys rock.
