Careful guys! Cam seal falling out

I was cruising on the highway, to make a long story short, and noticed a loud valve lifter noise. Than i saw my oil pressure gauge fall to 20psi. So i knew i was out of oil. Luckily i was near an exit and parked the car.
The goddamn camshaft seal was gone. It's the black cover that goes over the cam on the driver side head, aft of the engine. It is press fit, so if you guys have a high mileage engine check this out. I used a metal plate and an unused threaded hole on the head to secured the cam seal in place. It would suck to blow up an engine for something has stupid as that.
