Yeah, the service tech that my SA called upon seemed quite knowledgeable about the whole issue. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, he didn't even ask me to fire up the engine to hear the noise after I showed him a video on my cell phone that I had taken a few days before I took my car in the 2nd time. He told me that it was a known issue and they had replaced a few heads already. He mentioned that the difference between the old and new heads was that the new heads had smaller drain holes that would keep oil up there longer for lubrication and this would keep the valve lifters well lubricated and noiseless.
