Default quick help please- what do u use u secure core plugs in

Ive got a core plug that blanks off where the dizzy goes as ive gone to coil pack on a series 2 turbo this is. Anyway the plug u get for this is plastic and although it fits nicely i wondered if there would be pressure in the head that could push it out. So, what can i use to help hold it in. A bit of silicon sealant maybe?

Just been out there and done it. Feel embarased by asking the numpty question now, i put the coil pack bracket on and saw that the bracket is tight against there anyway so the plug wouldnt be able to pop out anyway. But cheers anyway for going easy on me lol.
