If you do find metal debris in the oil filter or have a flashing CEL, do not start the car or even turn over the engine.
Otherwise, it depends on your tolerance for taking risks. I have AAA coverage and I always tow my car to my independent or the one local dealer I trust whenever I'm concerned. This is my better safe than sorry approach to keeping my 01S running.
One question, does the noise start when the car RPMs go above 4000. If this was the case, one place to look is whether the Variocams work properly. You'll need a diagnostic tool to start to look into this. So this might be another reason to take the car in for inspection.
