mitsu may want diesel in the lifter because it is thinner than anyoil that is readially avail.
if you have a thick even 0 wieght oil it WILL blow out the seal in the lifter i assume the diesel will not seal as well and will more easily pass pass through.
you did not make a mistake by bleeding down your lifters during a cam install, you have to and if you have any noises it may be that you did not bleed them down properley.

what do you mean by pass pass through? what passes more easily engine oil and good explanation on the diesel being thinner

i used that page from the service manual when i did my install and i thought it was weird because the lifters were stiff when done, i thought they're suposed to be bled completely and allowed to fill back up by cranking the engine without starting it.
