Timing belt replacement instructions please?

Right after I had my timing belt replaced I started noticing a couple similar noises. I couldn't take it back to the mechanic b/c I had it done out of town. The first noise comes when the engine is cold and I start the car. It lasts for a split second and sounds like a loose or bad belt. Its a high pitched screech. The second is very seldom. I've noticed it more in cold temeratures. It is the same sound except its prolonged, usually for about 5 seconds at least. I've discovered that if I turn my AC blower off the sound goes away. I have had all my belts checked, but they came back and said there is nothing wrong with them. I'm perplexed.

Do I need to change the timing belt? I understand that Honda recommends $100,000 or 7 years. However my mechanic is telling me that time (and weather) is not an issue because of some kind of protector for the timing belt. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Fully stock components
Repair:
Timing belt replacement (first timer).
Noticed no free movement of idler pulley? (Slick pulley located up and right of crankshaft)
Figured maybe with belt tension it couldn't be moved by hand.

Completed job
Upon start:
Loud growling from under timing belt covers.
Upon inspection and removal of covers that the engine alignment is now off.
Question: how do I correct the alignment of the engine? Any idea on cause of sound?

Thank you for the quick reply. My first thought was that the idler pulley has seized and there was too much tension on the belt making the sound. My next thought was that the timing belt is not pushed back quite enough and it is rubbing on the cover. Should I check anything else visually?

Any thoughts on the motor misalignment? I did loosen the passenger side motor mount and tried moving the motor with come along straps but I had no luck.

Is there a way to donate money for your assistance?

Thanks again.

Parts replaced: water pump, idler pulley, guide pulley (?), Auto tensioner. Yes only the top mount but I am nervous about this misalignment around the alternator in this picture:

Sorry. And no I did not touch it.

And this one.

Yes with a piece of wood in between. I am afraid maybe I did not support it enough/correctly. I am used to my BMW's weak aluminum pan so I was a little hesitant. Can I fix that issue?

I am going to change the timing belt on this car and I was wondering what else to change. I know about the water pump. Does the tensioner need to be replaced even if it feels fine? What would be changed in the honda shop?

Hey Andy,

Hope this helps, I have a 2001 honda accord and this up coming week I am getting my timing belt changed, at the 105000 mi matinance, if you get this done at the dealership, you will get a complete belt change on everything, water pump change and spark plugs should be changed out as well. I would advise getting work done at the dealership, my cost for this is around 720.00 but do bare in mind that when do at the dealership you get a 12mth/12000mi warranty on those parts! Hope this helps!

Got my timing belt, serpentine belts, and two engine mounts replaced at a local repair shop (was charged 650) yesterday.

Immediately after I took the car, it started making noises while steering (and I think the steering wheel vibrates with the sound, and the noise is louder when the vehicle is going slower/starting up). The noise isn't always loud, but its worryingly loud many times, and constantly, there is a noise.

When I went back to the guy who made the repairs, he confirms the "steering wheel pump" is broken, and that it has nothing to do with the repairs (of course!). He says he will change the pump for the cost of the part only (no labor).
