Okay here's what I've got going on. A 2002 Explorer, with 150K + miles, with the dreaded 4.0h-no. Last summer I had the timing chain replaced and shortly there after the harmonic balancer replaced. I remember distinctly the sound the engine was making when we rolled it into the mechanic to have the timing chain fixed. Lately I've been noticing a similar sound coming from under the hood. Sounds kind of like a rattling sound ... I've listened in different areas with the engine running such as the pulleys and around the A/C compressor. It appears to be coming from the side of the engine closest to the firewall... I dont want to speculate yet but is it possible it is the timing chain again? I am pretty sure it's not the exact same noise as before. My quesion is, are there ANY OTHER problems that would make this kind (or similar) noise.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
