Recently while freshening up an early model A4, I found that virtually all of the studs that went into a water jacket, had been shortened just as Don describes. The material under those studs was easily removed with a small screwdriver, followed by a tap, which revealed that the block threads were still in very good condition.
Happy Holidays, Tom
