Default Cam dowl pin sheard at cam

I've been putting this car together for ever.I thought I was nearing starting it.Cooling system filled all leaks stopped.I moved on to filling with oil and priming.I just have just been turning the crank with a long wrench at harmonic balancer.Have not spun it with the starter yet. Oh!The valves aren't moving. I install the distributer ,turn the crank some more ,no movement.Now I come against a stop.I start removing rockers ,water ,surgetank, alternator ,coolant pump, timing cover,
the cam dowl in my brand new Comp Cams Hex adjustable timing set is sheard.It hasn't ever even been spun with the starter yet.Is this normal? does this crap only happen to me?How do I get the peice out of the cam shaft?Is there a better dowl pin to be had?
