Default broken camshaft - replacement procedure?

Hello folks,

Well ,a terrible thing happened today. The engine was in the car and ready to fire. I turned it by hand, out of superstition, to double check. I cleaned everything ...and well I just forgot to take out the sprocket and its wrench. I still dont understand how I could do that. It went into the blade of the fan, undid the 27 bolt : broken camshaft. I almost cried. All this work. looks like some kind of freudian slip. Or maybe I am the reincarnation of Sysiphus. I dont know.

Tomorrow I will take the compressions. There is no mark on the push button beneath the cams, I can feel a good compression by hand (although I dont expect no miracle!!)

It turned out I have another head (from a very tired engine)So I took of the camshaft and try to put in on the head , but I cannot put the cam bearings, looks like I need to press the shaft... ...is it even doable?

Even if I know that i will surely have to remove the head
Im so angry at me...
