Variable Cam Timing Solenoid - Failed?

How do you think the Variable Cam Timing system works? One of the 2 VCT oil control solenoid was shown in the tech's photographs at the dealership. Those solenoids regulate the flow of engine oil into the phaser cavities to advance/retard the camshaft timing. Again, I don't think they would allow enough timing to cause catastrophic failure of the valvetrain in the event of a VCT oil control solenoid failure. Hopefully the dealership tech used a borescope to examine the piston tops to make sure there was no PTV contact.

Heck, they even let me PDI my own car (I guess it's less work for them, so everyone wins)
