Looking for people's opinion of my timing belt here. I have a 2010 Forester non-turbo. This is a new car to me with about 146K miles. When the car was sold to me I was told the heads and timing belt have been done. I can see it's an aftermarket belt here and I can see replacement gaskets behind...

My trusty 3rd Subaru and second Forester has blown its timing belt 225k miles while driving a few weeks ago. Timing Belt kit was done at 136,000, I knew it was coming up for replacement and I was pushing it. I obviously have leaky gaskets too and also realized I would need to replace gaskets...
