| From the responses received on this it looks like the best route is to go see the machinist and have one made. Oh, and throw the 18mm x 2.0 tap in the trash.

Bought something bigger, cut it down... filed the threads into a
taper at the tip and played with it carefully so it didnt cross
thread. Thats what I did with our first attempt at a block, when we
put an aluminum adapter on the oil pump pad for oil return and PSRU
feed.
Later gen used the stock oil return fitting with an AN adapter on
it.

Kelly,
Short story is that this is the tap size I had handy that fit
the hole. We're trying to plug the heater port on the rear
housing. Who would have thought that an 18mm x 2.0 would be an
oddball size! We found a place that sells 18mm x 2.0 nuts, but
they tell us that nobody makes an 18 x 2.0 bolt. That
seems hard to believe.

You will have a hard
time for that. M18 x 2.5 is standard and first
choice fine is 18 x 1.5 . You may have to get it
made.
