1987 rx-7 GXL problems

Hi,
i just got this car, and when i try to start it, thers a gurgling sound in the coolant system, and when i finally get it started (takes bout 30min. worth the work and some luck), it overheats after a bit, but runs really nice.

from what i've read, the problem may be compression, gas's could be getting into the cooling system, causing it's overheating, from a bad apex seal?

i'm pretty new to rotary engines, i have an '83 LE and an '86 coupe and '87 GXL, gotten all of these within 2 weeks, the '86 is a parts car, but the '87 is really nice, just this engine problem, so any input would be great.
