I am actually in the same situation. The bolt that goes through the timing gear stripped the thread out of the block and had to have it machined with a different thread pattern and bolt but that was only because the shop it was at, was ran by idiots. Regardless, the cam timing will need to be set again. Turn your motor over to TDC (Top dead center) and then you will set your cam timing after you have reached TDC.

Ohh yeah...Torque the cams down enough. Make sure of it. I snapped my exhaust cam about 1/4" after the cam gear. That's the only thing delaying my car from running. Hope I helped even if it was just a little.
