Default School me on the 5.0

i have done some wrenching in my day but admit I know very little about the engine in my truck a 5.0. It’s a 2017.

A couple of questions. I know it has 4 valves per cylinder but how? 2 overhead cams? 4 overhead cams? Cam in the block like a traditional V8?

Direct or indirect injection?

I am pretty sure it’s an aluminum block and heads. Does it have steel sleeved cylinders?

Egr or non egr?

Thanks in advance for the answers and any other info I should know.

I originally posted something different but deleted it but the post above ragged me off a little. Would the owners manual say how the block is made. I tried a search on this board but really didn’t find the info I needed.

Bought the truck with zero research? We’ve owned maybe 12 Ford trucks over the years at work. The last being a 2014 with a 5.0. I’ve also got a co worker who has owned Fords and owns a 2015 now.

Nothing worse than someone that tries to make a poster feel small and stupid. Yes the same questions gets asked over and over, do not read them or waste your time responding.

The coyote uses 4 overhead cams as pictured above. It also has "VCT" or variable cam timing to optimize the power band. Your engine (as well as mine ['16]) uses port injection. When Ford released the revised version for 2018, direct injection was added (among other things).
