I had the same problem with mine. It was one of the phasers. and when we ripped it out the passenger side head and Cam was so burnt and it’s from the oil running thin, so my grandfather is a trucking company and with his discount it was cheaper to just get an engine because Ford told me one of the heads is 3300 and then the other one is 18 and then you need the phaser kit. I’m not saying yours is that but I would start looking that direction now my friend had that problem too what he did was, he put a pair of vice grips on the cams and change the phasers that way it’s crazy cause when these motors are running right they’re actually good but design of them suck
