start here clean the line on the harmonic balancer and mark it with white out,so you can easily see it with a timing light.than clean the timing chain cover so you can see the degree marks it will say like 6420246 left is retarded and right is advanced,than there should be a sticker on the rad support saying what the timing should be set at for example it will say 8degrees with trans in park or neutral at idle, if its carbourated remove the vacuum advance hose from the distributer and plug it off so that the distibuter has no vacuum advance,if its fuel injected than you will have to disconnect what will be a purple wire in the main engine harness,this will be located on the left Sid eof the firewall if you are looking at the engine from the front of the vehicle.than start the engine and inspect the white line on the harmonic with the timing light,than simply move turn the distibuter until you can put that white line with the correspnding timing located on the rad support.once done so tighten the 9/16 bolt under the distibuter to ensure that it will not move.

Yes, The timing belt coordinates the movement of the engine's valves with the movement of the pistons and fuel delivery system. If the timing belt "fails" this will be catastrophic for the engine. Unlike this first answer, I have a 1991 MPV 4-wheel drive and a 1993 MPV. I have broken the timing belt multiple times on both and it has "never" damaged the engine.

Explorer 4Lt OHC timing chain replacement?
you have to pull the engine out. there is a timing cassette on the back which is not accessible while the engine is in the car. It also requires a number of special tools. Unless you plan on doing it multiple times and have a good deal of automotive experience, I would recommend taking it to a shop. If you mess up on timing the engine you will have major engine damage.
