I should add that the cam chain tensioner pads are perhaps more important than the IMS bearing. These pads are pretty worn by 150000 to 200000 KM and should be changed. Very few people talk about...

Finally the piston was not mushroomed, I removed the oil pump cover and was able to easily remove it. It was just held in place in the cylinder by the oil's surface tension.

I don't think anyone has figured it out so far. Here is another picture. It is less obvious in the photo but the piece of plastic is black, not the dark brown of the tensioner pads. Also it is too...

I found that I had to rotate the clip to a position where I was able to get it with the clamp tool. I think I used a long screwdriver lubricated with patience and colourful language.
