On a 1998 Ford Explorer :
The 4.0 liter EFI , V6 engine ( which is an Over Head Valve / pushrod design
engine , the 8th " character " of the VIN is an " X " , has ( 1 ) timing CHAIN )
The 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 engine ( the 8th " character " of the VIN is an " E " has ( 3 ) timing CHAINS )
The 5.0 liter V8 engine ( the 8th " character " of the VIN is a " P " , has ( 1 ) timing CHAIN
Timing chain.
The explorer has a timing chain, not a belt.

The Ford Explorer engines use a timing CHAIN
The Ford 4.0 liter SOHC engine has ( 3 ) timing CHAINS
Timing chains, no belt.
