KDP Carnage!

KDP Carnage!
First off, I know I'm an idiot, had the truck for about a year, got the kit, but haven't fixed it yet, my fault. Let's move on...
So the KDP got me.
I was out and about when I came out of the store I noticed a puddle of oil under my truck. It appeared to be the crank seal. I drove it home (no unusual noises or anything else except oil leaking).
I got around to fixing it today and found the cover looked craked.
When everything was pulled off, there it was, the dowel pin sitting there, cover broken off, but at least the gears looked good.

**NEWBIE ALERT**
Seen the stuff in peoples sig about "KDP killed", but Ive had the 12 Valve newbie-itis (the fear of asking stupid questions to seasoned 12 valve mechanics), so therefore I have no clue what the KDP is, and how to "kill it.'' Could someone please fill me in? Because I dont want this junk happening to me!!

The Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) is just what it is, a dowel pin used to align the front cover to the block during assembly. Some where fine and stayed in place others work loose and fall out and get caught in gears, break cam, teeth on gears, covers ect... There is a kit you can buy or make your own. Just make a tab that will cover the dowel pin and use the existing bolt to the right of it or a slightly longer bolt with thread locker.
