'01 Explorer - 4.0L 6 Cyl - Timing Issue?

Forgive the stunning details, I'm a few thousand miles away from the car.

Car is an '01 Explorer w/ the 4.0L 6 Cyl and about 83,000 miles.

As I understand, the car was brought in for a squeaky serp. belt. The belt and tensioner were replaced. A few days later while driving, the car suddenly got loud and had no power. Take it back to the same shop and there is "no compression" in 2 cyl's.

Looking around the internet, it seems that timing chain issues on these engines is fairly common. I can't tell whether or not it is likely that it just jumped timing and running like crap, or if this is an interference engine and we likely had pistons and valves that didn't get along with each other.

Any info from anyone with experience w/ these would be great.

Thanks
