1994 shogun 3.5 gls auto petrol - Stalls when cold - noisytappets


Helo..can anyone tell me if there is anything i should really look out for with a 3.5 im going to look at.
100.000 miles, fsh. I know it stalls when pulling away if engine not warm then fine when warmed up. The last thing i want to do is a head gasket kit on one of these so im hoping its a minor common fault that someone may be aware of. Thanks for any replies
