Yes, it's one of the 'hooks' on the front vertical cam chain guide. I'd fix it - requires the head to come off.

no telling what might happen if that chain guide wiggled out of place at 6,000rpm. i'd fix it.

Once you found a replacement, one long evening of work would get it replaced. My guess is you didn't get the lower 'hook' seated on the steel pin properly and the stress from the chain squeezed and broke it.

I knew something were wrong

Cams where installed 120 degress out, so some hard starting and vibrations where here.

Hope there was no contact between valves and pistons!!
