Do you know the root cause of the problem? Why did the pin snap? Any sign that the cam has siezed in one of its' journals perhaps?

I hope your motor is OK mate, thinking about it the only way the valves could have survived is because they must have been nudging the cam back and forth as the pistons smacked them because the cam wasnt being 'held' by the pulley.
 As has been mentioned you must find the root cause ,and also check the other 3. and if you are not using new cam bolts and torqueing +angle tightening them, make sure they are loctited and tightened up to buggery  :y

Didn't snap - it fell out.

Possibly dismantled too many times, I have now swapped 3 & 4 pulleys as both were a bit sloppy.

Just need to scrape and repaint
