Not good. Better run a flush through that car, dropping oil pressure causes that.
look at you using big words like cam phaser. 
lol.
well im glad you're digging into it! Sucks that it took out a whole cam tho.

Just one lifter though? We checked the others and they didn't lose any tension.

Yeah oil sludge can stop up individual lash adjusters. Oil quality and oil change intervals all play as a factor.

So THIS is what you've been doing all this time NOLA huh?? First time I've seen a 3v without covers on it... Any ideas on what you guys are gonna do about the lifter issue? TFS heads????

What oil? Also it could also just be a bad spot in the metal that just gave up. At Toyota we see issues like this when people just don't change the oil, parts coke up and stop doing their job. If your changing regularly then I would say lash adjuster just couldn't pump up and excessive clearance ate the cam.

I've used Motorcraft 5w20 syn. blend and a FL820s filter since day #1 with no issues and the used oil still has a some transparency when discarded. Not clean, it is used oil but not burnt looking like our 190k miles Z71.

That sounds like what happened. The single lifter that failed wasn't oiling the follower and it seized. Apparently, this is a very common issue with 4.6/5.4 3V's. It happened regularly enough that Ford put out a TSB on certain 2005 models. The needle bearings in the followers have a 'glass jaw' so-to-speak.

Perhaps down the line but we're gonna swap the stock cams for some Hot Rod cams. They're only 1mm over stock in terms of lift, but the duration is longer for that juicy, lopey idle some of us crave. My wife heard our friend's GT [with these cams] back in March and has wanted them ever since. Hubby delivers!

Oh okay we don't see it too commonly, we have vvt lock problems. When the car shuts down the cam should lose oil pressure causing the cam gear to slide in the full retard position, then as the car starts oil pressure builds up and the cam gear gets pulled to full advanced and locks but the locks get stuck closed and they rattle their asses off till vvt command goes into full adjustment.
