These are not taps and ARP even says do not use them to cut threads.
The OP has all the info he needs, its up to him what he's willing to do.

Il figure it out, I'm going to try everything before I buy those chaser's. I'm already in the money hole though, i had to buy an ATI super damper because there's no keyway in the stock pulley, that was an extra 450 I wasant planing on. I know you can pop the keyway out but that would be half assing, I'd rather do it right the first time. But its a lq4 with compstar crank, compstar rods, diamond pistons. I'm putting a cam in 234/234 112 lsa, Texas speed headers and ory (temperary) patriot dual golds, hardened pushrods of course, ls7 lifters, 853 heads (shitty), trying to find a ls6 intake for sale. The engine is built for a turbo, I'm just runing it N/A for now till I can afford a turbo kit. It gets discouraging after so many things go wrong though, I feel like it will never be together.

Sounds like a pretty hot setup. Post up some pics when you can.
================================================
I sent a question to the guy selling the taps on ebay. He says the taps are made for GM and used for engines.
It looks like this is the tap used by GM (or GM's vendors) to make the threads in the block.

I fixed my problem, I ran them in with an allen key didn't take any effort with the Allen key, after I ran them in they were able to unscrew by hand and screw all the way in by hand so its fixed now. Didn't see that option here so I figured I'd share and help the community a little!
