Lifters are fucked...common problem on a lot of Mitsubishi engines.
Contact Meek Automotive in Sydney they keep them.
You can still drive the car too...

Make sure to also do an oil service when you replace your lifters as well as if you haven't done it in a while get a rocker cover gasket

I remember paying $60 each back in 1999, the price has come down since the turn of the Web with access to the US. Try Meek, I got mine from Camtech Cams for my 4G63 though, only $125 for 16.

Here:

Gasket set - http://www.precision...=25030&EID=3259

Note: The rocker cover gasket set is cheaper through Meek. Also, I've never brought anything from Precision but they seem legit (it was just to show what's available).
I have ordered stuff from Meek though - great to deal with.
