So after lengthy research I have figured out that my 92 Explorer has "lifter tick/noise". In order to make a correct/complete repair I would need to pretty much disassemble most of the internal the engine. Clean the engine of grime and sludge build up and reassemble with new parts. While I am disassembling I will probably replace old parts and bring the current R-12 AC system up to retrofit for the R-134a system in which you can readily purchase at any auto part store.
I expect a project like this might take some time (couple of weekends) as I am in no way a mechanic but I feel like I can make these repair without visiting a qualified mechanic charging me out of the this world to do the same job. I will reply back as I begin making these repairs and letting you all know how I am doing. I would rather make this repair than buy a new/used Explorer. Please, if you have any suggestions/tips/comments please feel free to leave a reply. Thanks.
