epn 268 cam

like the title says, i bought this cam off of engbldr and also purchased the full gasket set, head bolts, o/v valves, timming chain kit off of the same website. well last weekend i yanked the motor out and installed all of these parts with no problems, but after everything was said and done, started and ran the truck for 2 minutes the first time, then fuel leeks, then i started the trick the second time with more fuel leeks, but the third time i went to turn the engine back on it sounded like it had no compression, and after alot of trouble shooting i figured out that the dowl pin on the epn cam had broke, cuasing the cam to turn 90 degrees from tdc causing the valves to open and close at the wrong time, but should i send the cam back in and get another one, or take it to my work and press it back in and hope it stays in? any thoughts would be great!!

If the cam is under a warranty, you should send it back. Just to be safe on the warranty.
