Belt Squeal

Belt Squeal
Yesterday I just got done installing my new timing belt and accessories belt and already there is something wrong. When ever the engine (or belt) is cold the belt will squeal at start up. I'll drive it down my road to the stop sign and as I stop the belt squeal again. It doesn't squeal though when the engine is warm up. What might be the problem? I think it might be my accessories belt squealing. Also is there a certain way I should be the timing belt on since my engine is a vtec?

RE: Belt Squeal
If its your accessory belt, its prolly worn. Warm rubber bends alot easier than cold rubber so when your engine is cold the belt slips since it can grab the pulley as well. When the engine warms up, the belt warms up and grabs the pulley alot better and doesn't slip.

Tighten the drive belts. Both the power steering and alternator belts. Feel them both, press down down on the drive belt in between the drive belt wheels. If one is gives more than the other, tighten that one first to see if it goes away. If not, then also tighten the other one.
