Broken parts

At work this past week, we had a Chevy avalanche come in for a brake line leak. So, after flaring a new line and putting it on the truck, it was time to bleed the brakes. No big deal, right? Well I couldn't get the bleeder to brake loose. So one of my co-workers decided he was going to try. So, after beating a socket onto the bleeder, he then attempts to crack it loose using a ratchet. Until, he brakes it off... Great! The customer came in for something simple and ended up having to have a new caliper bought for his truck... I understand that things happen, but when you think you know everything because you are a " strong male" things tend to break.

Back to the Jetta..
I have had the Jetta at the house now for about a month now. I don't have the money to put a new motor in it yet. But I find myself looking at it, and trying to decide what I want to do with it. I thought about getting the head checked and putting new valves in it. In the process of the timing belt coming off, the valves made contact with the pistons. I was looking at the high pressure fuel pump and noticed that the cam follower had worn out causing the cam to rub on the plunger on the fuel pump. And with a little bit of research, the cam follower should be checked every 10-20,000 miles. Well I'm assuming that this had not been done. Here are a few pictures of the hpfp and cam follower.
