do you mean you were doing the valve clearances and broke it? if so, you dont need to remove the cam caps or the camshafts to do your valve clearances.

if you mean you have lost that bit that has broken off, have a good look aorund for it, but be prepared to have lost it down an oil drain port...in that case, hope and pray that it settles to the bottom of the sump and you find it after draining the oil...ps, dont fire up the engine if you think its floating about in the guts somewhere...

i think the cam cap will still be usable...but for a definite answer someone with more experience than me will be necessary.

the cam covers are machined along with the camshafts and the cylinder head...so if you want to replace the cover you will need new camshafts and a new cylinder head...
