Broken camshaft cap. Looking for possible reasons....

Good day everyone,
I'm so glad that I found this forum, it has great information.
So recently I purchased 94' KLX 650. It is my first bike, so I do not have a lot of experience with motorbiking.
Just for precaution I decided to check the valve clearance. When I opened the
of the head I found out that camshaft cap was broken and welded, part of the fixing screws where missing and most part of the screws was not original 
Also I noticed that KACR has quite a lot of wobbling (at least in my non experienced knowledge) from the main fixing rivet.
So now I am wondering what to do next and what to check to prevent any more damage ?
Oh by the way bike starts with no bigger issues and runs quite normal in my opinion ( that's why I bought it
)
