All's good so far!

Next up, pull plugs and fog the cylinders with oil, then it's timing belt, tensioner and water pump time in the valley.

Then new plugs, adjust valves, replace fuel injectors (at $30 each I feel it's wise) then seal it up, replace fluids and see if she comes alive.

It sounds like you really know what you are doing...I wish I dared to tackle the timing belt replacement. Everytime I read-up on it..I back off.
Very interested in how that goes. My Prelude is at 120K with the original belt.
