I can repair those stripped out threads in the oil pumps with heli coils. Stripped threads will drilled out, tapped and inserts professionally installed. I'm a machinist with over 30 years in the trade and have installed literally thousands of helicoils.

Oil pump will have the outer ends disassembled. I do not remove the drive or the center section.

Drilled and tapped on my milling machine. ( insuring the threads stay square to the bosses to reduce the chance of leakage)

Chips cleaned out so there is no debris in the pump.

Oil pump reassembled

$25 first stripped hole, $8 each additional stripped hole.

Thanks
Jeff

Made a drilling fixture to keep the holes perfectly square. It's used upright as shown for the inlet and laid down for the outlet holes.

I'll be getting a hold of you this winter. I have one stripped, but using sealer looks like it will get me through the summer.
