Did you check condition of heads/valve train? A valve might have been damaged. You also say you replaced a belt but what shape were the sprockets and tensioners in? Anytime a timing belt breaks during engine operation you want to check overall motor condition, and not just replace the belt.

    My 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse manual says you need to change the timing belt at 60,000 (seems very early to me) - but at 105,000 if I live in California. Sounds like I need to move there after I hit 60,...
