You have an interference engine. Basically, when it broke, the valves and pistons hit each other. I hate to say it, but I have never seen one survive it. From a professional stand point, replace the engine. The head is shot and chances are there is damage to the pistons. However, if you want to have your mechanic check it, maybe I am wrong. The only other thing is if you totally have the timing wrong.
