The only good way to repair this is with an insert. There are many on the market. I have used some from Auto Zone with some success. There is also a really high quality repair kit available from Cal-Van tools that does a first class repair. It is a bit pricey, but in the long run it will be a permanent fix. As far as doing the tapping, I have found that in the absence of available air pressure, you can use wheel bearing grease to capture the chips. Put the grease on the tap, cut about 1 to 1-1/2 threads, and take the tap out and clean and re-grease it. Take another turn or so, and keep repeating. Keeps the chips out of the cylinder, but it is tedious and takes time. BUT.....time is cheaper than a $100/hour shop.
