So far no one has brought up the fact that the gear broke - where are the pieces? The pan should really really be pulled and cleaned. The threads at least checked for condition to see if they will hold or if a new cam is in order. If this is an old engine it wouldn't hurt to check bearings while the pan is off.
As for degreeing this cam it is an unknown centerline so you need a base line to start with. Put the gears and chain on and run it.

And what about the valves??? If it broke while running I'm sure some met the pistons in a bad way.
