I hope this isnt as bad as i think it is.

Well after completely exploding my opti rotor into oblivion, i finally got around to removing the old opti and during removal the FRIGGING DOWEL PIN fell out of the end of my cam onto my forehead! I did tap the dowel with a copper hammer to get it to proper lenght during installation. So now my question is...... Can i just tap the dowel back in and put some locktite or JD weld or some crap on it to keep it in or is the cam toast.....? I have no idea why this happened or how all i know is it was not a good suprise..

What do you guys think.
