Bring it back!
Driving down the road and hear something metal fall in the engine bay and then under the car. Shut it down and pull off right away. Popped the hood, saw that this cam sprocket bolt broke off. Removed valve cover (will post a pic), the sprocket is still on there, it dipped about 1mm but is held by the washer. It did begin to chew into the valve cover a tiny bit, there are some shavings. The motor ran fine when it fell out and I noticed no sounds or sputters, no cel, and no smoke.
Can I just replace this bolt or is the damage already much greater than I think?
Thanks
