Why not just get the head done if it needs it? The bottom end should be fine, you did say it was only the gasket, so why spend loads of money if you don't need to.

What makes you think the hydraulic tappets are an issue?

This is perfectly normal for that engine. To quote Diesel Car mag....

It sounds like a dozen blacksmiths armed with hammmers trying to break their way out of the engine.

It's the noisiest diesel ever made.

P.S. My wife complained every cold start for 15 years!!
