Couldn't you put the piston at TDC, fill the bottom of the hole with thick 
grease, grease the tap, 1/4 turn, back it out, clean it, grease it, 1/4 turn 
more, back it out, clean it, regrease it, etc...  If the tap gets close to 
bottoming out, grind down the tip some.  When finished, carefully clean out the 
grease from the bottom of the hole.  If done carefully, the head would not need to 
be removed.
