actually under normal conditions the 97 accord T-belt is due 7 years or 105k even tho it uses the exact timing belt as the 90-02 non vtec accords part numbers and all, but for peace of mind change both the timing and balanceshaft belts and the waterpump , also inspect the tensioners ,cam ,balance shaft ,crank & oil pump seals for seepage and replace as needed also make the balance shaft seal retainer is installed.
