This seems like it would be easy to find an answer using the search...either on this forum, or on a search engine. I'm trying to figure out which timing chain kit to order for my 02 XLT 4.0 SOHC. When I search, all that comes up is info related to "check engine light" codes. I'm ready to punch myself in the face!

According to the tsb related to the dreaded timing chain noise, for an 02 model, I need to know the engine code, which I can't seem to find anywhere. I refuse to trust my local dealer, as their employees have proven time and again that you have to be an idiot in order to get hired (not kidding...you wouldn't believe it if I went into detail).

I may purchase from them or order online, but I want to make sure I get the right part # before I have my mechanic tear it apart. Can you help?
 






Oh, and here is the info I'm referring to:
Use kit 2U3Z-6D256-AA (balance shaft engines) for: -99-01 4x4 Explorer/Mountaineer -01-02 4x4 Sport/Sport Trac -All 02 Explorer/Mountaineer, except engine codes 2G-960-AA and 2G-964-AA

Use kit 2U3Z-6D256-BA (non blance shaft engines) for: -99-01 4x2 Explorer/Mountaineer -01-02 4x2 Sport/Sport Trac -02 Explorer/Mountaineer with engine codes 2G-960-AA and 2G-964-AA -All 2001-02 Ranger
