There's a key that will sit in the slot.
It sounds like it is simply missing.

Most likely, easy to replace. You will find them in other cams, or you can usually get one from from a grab kit. Don't know the length exactly (9/16 or 5/8 ) but it is a 3/16 wide woodruff (half moon) key.
The cam place will have them in spades.

PM replied. As said above it's a `woodruff' key, semi-circular. :wink:
