Default Just Finished!!!

I began my second half of the task today and put everything back together. Reconnected the battery, crossed my fingers, and fired her up. Much to my pleasure I heard no crazy chatter or horrible sounds coming from my engine bay. I did notice however that there was a slight (very slight) whine coming from the T belt area when it warmed up and idled down. I didn't notice if the sound was there before I replaced it, so just wondering if this is acceptable. It's so slight that i'm sure it will be hardly audible with the hood closed. I haven't driven it yet, but ran it for ten minutes and blipped the throttle now and then. So then, I deem this project a success thus far. Hopefully it stays that way for another 90K.
I must say that if anyone is debating on whether or not to tackle this task on their own I think you can. The most major work I had done prior to this is valve adjustments on my old 91 b16 rex several years ago and I was a bit nervous at first. However, with the step by step instructions that i printed off of team-acura.net and a couple printouts from a manual I found it to be very doable. Those instructions rock and I must give credit to this forum for providing me the link to them.
If there is any advice of things i should be listening or looking for concerning the belt in the next little while it would be much appreciated. Otherwise I will just keep my fingers crossed and hope I did it correctly. Thanks again board.

Those intstructions were on team-INTEGRA.net and not acura.net
