Wasn't there another earlier SB for this same or similar issue?

[Captainkirk]

Yes; there was a "1" which is superseded by "1A"

The Revision was just to add 300 cylinders to the list but the COPA site lit up...

At the top of this bulletin is a statement: " The subject matter of the service bulletin is incorporated in whole or in part in an FAA issued airworthiness directive"
I am not finding a new A.D. addressing this. Has anyone?

There currently isn't an AD for these cylinders & from what I hear there isn't gonna be one. The Feds say TCM is on top of it & the SB will suffice. But, what time is it?
