Default rear main cover broke???

so I did my cam swap today and a buddy was under the car using a screwdriver to keep the crank from turning over while I tightened the new crank bolt and the screwdriver snapped in half and when it snapped it actually sliced a 1 inch long hole that is so fine it looks like a razorblade did it now do I need to get a new cover or can I JB weld it shut problem is I need it fixed tomorrow I work far away and the car is my DD so it needs to be on the road on Monday so if I cannot JB weld the paper thin hole closed then where do I get a new rear main cover locally in Utah autozone etc

You can probably JB weld it. I would drive it a bit and make sure its not leaking. Also the new cover is a factory part and requires R+R of the trans and flywheel to replace. Summit makes a tool that holds the crank pulley while you are tightening the bolt.
