your truck has a g54b - there was never a g45b in any mitsu truck I have ever seen. The valve train noise is most likely the hydraulic lash adjustors - you could either replace them or try using one quart of Rislone in place of 1 qt of motor oil at the next oil change - it is a super detergent to clean out gunk and sludge slowly unlike 5 minute motor flush which is a quick clean out and not advisable on older high mileage vehicles. You could swap out the hydraulic rockers for mechanical ones if you can find them - they are getting scarce and are not cheap, and require different rocker shafts to work
