I think I might have a solution for you, but also a shameless plug for my corporation:
Need a quick way to re-tap a stripped hole?
Use CRC Minute Mend Epoxy Putty part # 14070 (4 oz stick) or 14071 (2 oz stick). Break off a piece just large enough to fill the hole, and knead together per instructions. While still soft, insert Minute Mend into hole to be re-tapped and use the screw or fastener to “tap” the hole forming the threads. Retract the screw, and let the Minute Mend set. Once set, you will have a freshly tapped hole that will work for a long time.
This stuff has gotten good reviews from most of my customers, who incidentally, use it mostly for automotive applications.

yeah 140-inlbs. which is 11ft/lbs; but DON'T torque it down using a ft/lb torque wrench; you'll wreck the threads because ft/lbs wrenches are not accurate at low settings.

the problem is that the end of that hole is an oil feed line, you'll be pushing all sorts of junk into the oil galley when you tap it like that.
