I did this EXACT same thing and had the exact same outcome. It was cheaper for me to buy a new engine than to fix the current one. I had mine towed to a trusted mechanic that works from his home. This happened early February and I've still yet to get it fixed. I had an engine lined up locally, but he ended up backing out after leading me on forever, and now I've gone through a nightmare trying to find a good engine to replace it with. After searching for weeks and weeks and Carfaxing 3 mileage fraud engines, I've finally found one. I'm ordering it on Monday.
Sounds like a nightmare because it is. Good luck with your purchase of a new engine. If you're looking for a warranty it'll be easier to have a shop/dealership put it on for you. I've been searching so long because I'm having my mechanic do it for much cheaper and most warranties require some sort of certified mechanic.
If you need help finding one, PM me. I've been looking for ~3 weeks straight, so I could help you find one.
(My mechanic has rebuilt ~10 salvage S2000's so I'm really lucky)

Sorry about your motor. 
After you get it fixed, be sure to shift into 4th with your hand facing outwards towards the passenger side of your car:
I suggest a lot of you get used to this.
Also, some AP2 retainers in your new motor would be a good idea.
