LOL 
seriously, ive done exactly the same thing. i thought, hey, im only 150km from home, its only Xmas eve, its only 1030pm, why not try changing my cam timing at this dimly lit servo!!
uh oh, spaghettiohs... plonk, lost the dowel into the timing cover somewhere! managed to dodge together a quick fix with a piece of 5mm bolt i had floating around in the boot, cut down to size with some wire cutters.
later, on xmas day, i tried my darndest to fish the dowel back out, to no avail - its now down 10,000km residing in the bottom of the timing cover with zero problems.
meanwhile, i think youll find 5.1mm stock steel rod is an exact replacement (its a common dowel size). i can send some up to you, but its hardly going to arrive tomorrow 
cheers
