Default dipstick installation tips

Morning alll

I have put a new timing cover and seal on my Windsor block. I need to install the dipstick housing but its not like it will just press in. It is a Ford racing chrome housing. The previous timing cover I had to drill out a bit to get it in but I think that was the wrong thing to do as it may have been part of one of my leaks. Are there any tips to installing this housing in the tight hole that is in the cover. Should I get a different dipstick to install? Maybe something a bit more machined and with no chrome? I always seem to have issues with items with chrome.. lol
