How  ironic.  I have been wondering how you are
supposed to make it sty in  place.

It seems to be simply pressed in place (definitely
no  threads), so brute force would be needed
to remove it (except in my  case).

In my case, many years ago, mine kept popping out, which of course caused  
its share of running problems. Fortunately, my local old-time gas station guys  
showed me how they carefully peened a couple spots on the inside of the hole 
on  the manifold and tapped the valve back home. It never came loose again 
after  that.

Triumph Herald engine with   wings.
