Damn, thats a shame coot.:cooldevil: Sorry to read that.
A half tooth off isn't uncommon and shouldn't have been a problem. I suspect thevalve spring pressure caused the cam to turn a revolution so it was 180 degrees out.
Sounds like you arein for a major engine tear down.
I know it won't do you any good, but for anyone who doesn't know;
You should always turn the engine over a few times by hand with a wrench on the crank pulley, while listening for metal to metal sounds and feeling for any binding. Remove the spark plugs to make it easier.
