I just might have a 1/2 NPT tap kicking around the garage


so what are your thoughts on this, sound like a viable option or am I wasting my time?

Well, something, somewhere is WRONG. If it was mine, I would try to find out WHAT. You say the only thing that's consistent is the block. That's not true. The only thing that's consistent is the LEAK. You need to confirm WHERE it's coming from. Do you honestly think the stock plate and TWO Canton plates were ALL bad? I sorta doubt it.
