I agree your lucky, i had the ecaxt same thing happen to me about two years ago. The crazy thing was i was revving around 5 grand when the dowl broke. I coasted to a parking lot and got it towed home. After doing compression checks i found out nothing was bent! Unfortunatly this fall i had the large bold holding the harmonic balancer/timing belt pully back out. That resulted in crushing all 16 valves and ruining the head! So....my lesson learned...put tons of locktite on that bolt, and retighten it every couple weeks! Pr Ricer....were you able to get the rest of the broken dowl out to replace it? or fdo you need a new cam?
