Yes, thats what I will do,the treads are bad in the cap and even if glued I dont think that would be a long term repair.

"The bores from the bottom side look good with still evidence of horizontal boring marking in the bores."

If you are describing it correctly, I would not run the engine if you expect it to last very long.
It sounds like the bores were not honed.
There should be NO visable HOROZONTAL lines.
There should be a 45 degree (approx) cross hatch visable.
