NEVER NEVER NEVER. A different pitch will probably work once if the bolt doesn't chew all the threads out. The next oil change will likely be the end of the threads and you are royally hooped. The different pitch to the thread is a Japanese Standard and should not be mucked with. Somebody needs a smack.
