Camshaft Question, Taking apart Y8 head for minime swap.
I was taking apart the head for inspection of all the parts and to replace the cam oil seal.
When I finally got the rocker arm assembly off, here's what I found!
Am I screwed?
This is the distributor end. I'm thinking that it won't leak, but there will be an imbalance.
Will I need to get another camshaft because this little thing is broken?!@$! ??

Look at the collar.. Its almost totally broken off.. The top picture shows the collar broken near my thumb, the middle pictures shows it broken near my index finger.

I can't believe its broken!! 
I'm hoping I can get away without replacing, it.. This project is costing me some money.
I think I can complete it without spending more than an extra $1000.
Thats with the Zydyne ECU ($350) and extra stuff 1/2" Torque wrench, breaker bar, valve cover gasket, other gaskets, throttle body, other gaskets, coolant, oil, water pump, timing belt.
