You stripped the teeth off the cam gear. Replace it with metal gears (not phenolic). Cloyes makes a set with multiple keyways so you can advance / retard your cam. If re-using your stock cam most applications work good @ 4 deg advanced.

Don't forget to pull the oil pan and clean it - maybe change the oil pump while you are down there. Good luck.
