broke piece off of auto tensioner

While I was pulling the pin out of the auto tensioner, the part that has the hole where the pin goes into broke. There is no oil leaking. This shouldn't affect the tensioner besides not being able to stick another pin in it correct? Thanks in advance.

Just for overall structural integrity~

I'm gonna side with fsttyms on this one. Since the broken piece is in an area that sees no stress, I'd be more concerned with the glued on part coming off and causing more damage.
