Default Slow idle after timing belt change

I changed the timing and balancer belts on my 01 Accord VP (4 cyl.), and everything was lined up.

It runs fine, but it idles a little slower than it used to. It's not idling rough, there's no miss, and it doesn't shake upon acceleration as if the balance shaft is out of time, but it does idle slower.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I recently did the same job on my sons 97.

The only thing I could think of is the timing was off by one tooth and you
corrected it, or your off one tooth which would account for a few degrees
timing change. Assuming nothing else was changed.
