Good write up< TD. I recommend using anti seize on the bolt or stud that goes into the helicoil, because if the seize they will destroy the helicoil and make it very hard to repair.
Is this an unusual thermostat housing? Most I recall seeing just have plain holes with the bolts screwing into threaded holes in the surface the housing mates to.

The thermostat "housing" is part of the block say similar to a starter motor
The bolts go through the block and then screw onto the thermostat housing, LOL
Being dis-similar metals you're bound to get electrolysis and this is where the problem
