By now the engines are worn rather than broken: compression is down, they smoke on start-up, they use oil and the power is simply not there under load. The other common ending is a cracked head after an overheat — cooling systems on a working ute get neglected, and the 4M40 head does not forgive it twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTritons of this era are cheap to buy and expensive to replace with anything equivalent, so a new engine in a straight, rust-free ute is usually the sensible call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTurbo block or non-turbo block — choose above\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the option to the engine the vehicle has now; the two blocks are different.
