End of WW2 a LOT of Japan's industry was in ruins so they licence built cars and some were based on British models so they supplied the specs and tooling.
It took a LONG time before they standardised to Metric.
Have a look at the very early Japanese cars and they're just clones.
You tried to screw an NPT adaptor into a BSPT hole and wonder why it didn't work?

Condensation/water/oil/crap in a catch can is pretty normal Dave, if he reported coolant in the Pan or under the Oil cap I'd suggest passive tests and NOT run the engine at all.
Dave: Agreed 100% but I didn't see him mention water in the oil in his original post?
He says there's water/oil in the catch can and that it's using coolant.
What sort of power were these cars making Ant?

Would have preferred low to no muzak but it's what it is nothing that the volume...
My point is instead of jumping all over the place try thinking about the issue and working through and eliminating possible causes, may as well try a different rear view mirror as it "might" be that ;)
Turbo coolant bypass is one of the easier things to test and a couple of days running will...
I tend NOT to cut right through (don't like risking marking the id of the part I'm trying to save) so it needs the 2nd cut to allow it to fail ;)
Never had to do this on a pilot bearing but haved done it on other jobs.
