(Home) Broke off a piece of my engine block, where the oil sensor threads in

Help, the part of the block where the oil pressure sensor threads into the Toyota 22-RE block, a piece broke off when i was removing the oil sensor to replace it. So far I was able to re-tap then inner side of it, and reinsert the oil sensor into the block, but I am afraid that it is going to leak one day. Are there any products out there I can use to thread into the block and make a permenant seal, and still be able to thread in a oil sensor into this product?

Would one of these instant metal products work as a last resort? Your local trade autofactor should stock a decent one - once set they can be drilled and tapped etc.
