Like Pat said, if it is hydrolocked and you bump started it you could have bent a rod. I find it odd that you threw two belts on successive trips. My cars have never thrown so much as one and my rpm's have exceeded 6k (try 7k).

Is the thermostat in backwards? Did you fill the engine with coolant via the intake (not the expansion tank)?
