Take Coraldoc's advice in the Under the Hood forum. I know him personally and he knows the S like the back of his hand.

Flatbed the car to a mechanic and get it check out correctly, don't risk further damage. Flat bed should cost you $80, better than a $4000 motor. Besides the repairs could be minimal.

True. It's gonna be a couple weeks unless I can somehow get a mechanic to drive to my house. I'm even tempted to look at the head to see whats up. Hopefully nothing is major. Should I flat bed it by the dealership to get them to look at it?

Yes. That was my point.

Good luck.

Sounds like a valve/retainer issue. I definatly would NOT drive it.
