I've always soaked them in gasket shellac, then driven them in until
they
are pretty solid. The gasket shellac that I've used is readily
available
in the common auto parts stores under the brand name "Indian Head" as I
recall. Alternatively, I know of rebuilders who just fill the space
jam full of RTV, but that never seemed like a very good idea to me.
I hope that helps,
