Got it, thanks.

It turns out I did have that one. Thinking of Accord, I didn't check my
Civic archive. In fact, the one I have is /newer/ than the one you sent,
being November rather than September issue. I've added it to the TSBs for
Civic. Ebscohost also has that one.

If this TSB was applicable to Accords, don't you think Honda would have
included Accords in the vehicle list (which does not include VTEC Civics)?

would or should? i think should. it's the middle of a head that lifts
on overheating, so it makes sense to go back and ensure the middle is
absolutely secure.
