Only done the front half at the moment. It's a relatively easy process it's just tricky to get the lifters on properly. Much easier with 2 people as it makes it easier to guide the lobes onto the tappets themselves.

Its also 10 times easier with the proper Mitsi tool (which isn't all that expensive) and a big ass magnet

There's a proper Mitsubishi tool? Where can I buy it?

You can make one out of a ruler. Search the dsm sites for a lifter removal tool template! Makes lifter removal so much easier.

I don't understand why people always say their old lifter is stiff which causes the tick. The reason why an old lifter is solid is because its full of oil. A new lifter can be compressed as its no bleed yet.

The ticking is caused by the lifters being too soft which causes the tick.

I can also confirm repco sell Nason lifters for the FTO for 11 bucks each.
