Ford 4.2L V6 Lower Intake Manifold Installation Diagram - Sealer Points A26859-A

This is a service illustration (figure A26859-A) showing an intake manifold installation procedure, most likely the lower intake manifold of a V6 engine. The drawing contains three views: at the top, an exploded view of the intake manifold itself, indicated by callout 2 with arrows pointing to its sealing surfaces/gasket flanges; in the middle, a view of the engine with cylinder heads and valvetrain (rocker arms/pushrods visible) showing where the manifold seats, with arrows pointing to the front and rear end-seal areas of the engine block valley; and at the bottom, an inset detail box with callout 1 showing arrows indicating points at the ends of the block sealing rail where sealer/RTV should be applied. The document contains essentially no written text other than the two numeric callouts (1 and 2) and the Ford illustration reference number A26859-A. There is no legend, torque specification, part number list, or year/model applicability printed on the page. A reader can learn the general orientation of the intake manifold relative to the heads and the specific locations (arrowed in the inset) requiring attention—typically sealant application—during manifold installation, but any accompanying step-by-step instructions are on other pages not shown here.
