I believe the Explorer does NOT use a timing belt, but rather a timing chain
The 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 engine in a 2002 Ford Explorer has ( 3 ) timing CHAINS
Never as it does not have a timing belt, it has a chain.Never as it does not have a timing belt, it has a chain.
The manual states at 90,000 miles. How do I change a timing belt for a 2002 acura rl?
Are you having a problem with your timing CHAIN ?
Actually , it has a timing CHAIN
In a 2002 Ford Explorer : The 4.0 liter V6 engine has ( 3 timing CHAINS ) The 4.6 liter V8 engine has ( 2 timing CHAINS )
The explorer has a timing chain, not a belt.
The 1999 Ford Explorer has a cam chain not a belt. No maintenance is required.
On a 2002 Ford Explorer : The 4.0 liter Single Over Head Cam , V6 engine has ( 3 timing CHAINS ) The 4.6 liter V8 engine has ( 1 timing CHAIN to each cylinder head , so there are 2 timing CHAINS )
its a timing belt and you have to change it around 100k miles
The 4.0 liter SOHC V6 engine has ( 3 ) timing CHAINS , so no timing belt
On a 2002 Ford Explorer : The 4.6 liter V8 engine has ( 1 timing CHAIN to each cylinder head , so there are 2 timing CHAINS )
