They updated the bulletin, they must not want to pay out for any more head replacements as the bulletin now says:

1. Don't perform the "bleeding procedures" (as they didn't last past the next cold start)
2. Don't replace the head, it is no longer going to be authorized.
3. Updated HVA units (lifters for lack of a better term) are available and is the current repair.

A few have gone through the shop that have gotten the updated HVA's and it did seem to fix them.

When you bring it in for the lifter tap again, mention that you looked up SIB 11 09 07 and think the updated HVA's from the latest bulletin update would fix the problem. Just be prepared to go a few days without the vehicle as they will need to get teileclearing authorization then order parts (next day if before 3pm) then about a day of labor.
