Yeah maybe that will work. I was thinking maybe defects in the material resulted in the flakey thread, but I guess it is a characteristic of cast iron |

what about any material thatll fill the hole (brass/steel/whatever) and a wurth timecert to provide clean threads for the head bolts/studs.

I like the timsert idea, especially if you were to use the original BMW bolts.

But still, the materials in which the timesert is to be inserted needs to be strong enough to withstand the head torque.

For the ones at each end of the distributor side of the block, just wind in some low-grade steel bolts with permanent loctite. For the same (outer) ones on the other side of the block, use a taper plug, but don't drill into the water way in the same place as the original water hole; instead offset away to where the new stud hole needs to be, so the new thread doesn't contact the taper plug.

I sacrifice an old cam for the cast bar, also use brass on water/ oil and not overlap stud holes, and the "old cam" on the ones that overlap.
