The first two photos are of the brown plastic chunks from the damaged chain tensioner paddles, which were found in the sump cover and oil pickup.

I will try and take some additional photos of the old paddles and IMS bearing next week, when I pick up the car. I am eager to see just how far along the IMS bearing was and how much play it has in it.
