sounds like you either bent a valve, or something happened to your bearing. who did all the work for you?

Check all your belts (especially the ones near the power steering) and make sure they are okay... i had a belt go bad once and it make a clicking sound... and the power steering and stuff stopped working... and it overheated

Start off by seeing what code your engine light is throwing. From there, you can determine whats wrong with your car

Sounds to me like the cheapest solution for you is to take your car to a qualified technician and let him diagnose the problem. You will be wasting money by 'throwing' parts at your car.

eventually i would have to change the valves, work alone will cost alot of money i'm thinking it would cost the same as stock head 500
