Actually , the 4.0 L SOHC engine has 3 timing chains - main chain from crankshaft to " jackshaft " ( which is in the same location as the camshaft on the 4.0 L OHV ) a chain from the jackshaft to the drivers side cylinder head at the front of the engine , and a third chain from the jackshaft to the passenger side cylinder head at the back of the engine - good luck

You do not have to change the timing chain. It is designed to last the life of the engine.
