MMR Dissects the new 2018 5.0 Direct Injection engine

[NorthernBeast]

I wonder how the, for lack of a better term, "spray-in-liners" on the cylinders will hold up on boosted applications?

My guess is, not very well. Will this be the Achilles heel of the 2018 Coyote engine for boost loving peeps? There is no way I would run this engine with any boosted application without sending the block out to have it sleeved.

That block is only as strong as the cylinder liners, and quite frankly, those scare the schiznit outta me. Time will tell.

They should hold up pretty well. Porsche has been using this technology as well and they run some high boost applications like the Turbo S and GT2 RS

How does the variable valve timing work on the exhaust cams? It looks different then the old set up with just a spring as opposed to phasers, and no electronics.
