Just a "stupid" question.
Wouldn't a broken piece of a spark plug tube fall down into the cam cover area first?

You might consider using something like this to get inside the cover and try to remove the pieces:

You might have to pull-out the other spark plug tubes to see and get to the broken pieces.
