It's "NOTCH" that simple...

I pulled the "T" bracket out. Bolt and all but there is a Torx bolt still inside. The notch that holds the T bracket in position for timing puposes is the one that broke off. I can probably remove the Torx screw that also serves as a receiver for a smaller torx screw that holds the "T" bracket aka Rotor bracket. Without the notch, I need to know exactly where the rotor bracket needs to be positioned and probably use a locking washer to hold it in place. There should be no resistance once the rotor is in place because all the rotor does it rotate with the cam to distribute spark to the spark plugs at a given timing.. So the issue is the missing notch inside the cam hole. Such a simple thing to invest in a new cam though... I'm sure that there is a more econimical way to fix this issue other than the obvious solution..Thanks for the input
