My 98 4.0 SOHC Explorer has exactly the problem that this TSB covers. Can anyone tell me what the solution is or point me to a website that does. Thanks Len Smith England

There is a lot of info on this. Seach this newsgroup for sohc 1998 chain tensioner. I'm quite interested in this problem because I'm thinking of buying a
2000 Explorer.Here are the numbers of two repairs: ONP 01M01 and ONP 00M12
The problem can be the timing chain guides and/or tensioners. A contributing factor can be using and oil filter that doesn't have an anti-drain back valve.
