If you are in the disposition of needing to replace cam caps and your cams are worn on journals why not rather have a machine shop re-linebore journals resurface cams to fit white metal bearings or needle rollers ? At least (if my previos advise is shit ) use a plastic gauge before turning engine over . . .

If you are willing to scrap the bottom yoke grind one side to see how deep welding penetrated then cut rest of yoke of around stem as to still have a lip to grip on aluminum new yoke

Take an old screw and cut groves into threads clean with a wire brush and U have a tap . . .

It is a butcher method but a sharp small blade chisel that can cut it in half ???

Are the mounting rubbers hose over aluminum head port or rubber hose on a oval base with M6 bolts to head ? If the latter is the "O" rings between head and manifolds good and capable of temps they go through?

I have twice had to resolder the wires from windings to R&R and still have a steady charge rate of 12.7-13.8v
