First of all the timing chain in in the front of the engine .Second it is time to find a mechanic who is professional enough to handle his customer in the proper way and who is not in the market for a 98 explorer.
YOU HAVE TWO CHAINS WHICH LABOR TIME WOULD BE 14.3 HOURS. DEALERSHIP PROBABLY $1200.00 A PRIVATE INDEPENDANT GARAGE CHARGE YOU ABOUT $500.00. BUT CALL AROUND GET A PRICE CHECK.
Remove your radiator, water pump, and anything else blocking the front of the engine. remove the timing belt cover and there is the belt. The best advice I can give on exact specs is to purchase a Haynes manual. It will give exact specs on lining up timing marks, resetting the timing, and torque specs of all things involved
If this is a SOHC 4.0 V6 then there is a recall on the tensioners for the timing chain, they cause the kind of noise you speak of, check with ford, this is the SOHC only.
