Please Help! I have a Stage 2 Rebuilt motor going in NEED HELP PLEASE!

I have an 86 GXL RX7 I put in new gauges and i cut the water thermo sensor to tap in the gauges and since then i have went through 2 radiators and i have had a problem with it flooding my oil smells like gas and i am losing 1/4 gallon of coolant every 5 miles but it is not leaking externally. I've de flooded it twice and it works for about a week then dead. I believed it was my motor but now that my new motor is shipping, i am thinking that either my fuel injectors are bad or something along those lines because the car won't even start it just cranks over but no compression. So i am worried that when i put my motor in my car it is not going to start because it 's a fuel system problem? I have had another rx7 that had a blown motor and it still started so i don't know.more importantly i ordered a new motor from rx7 world and it is a stage 2 motor, but before i put in into the car with the problem i am having i am worried that i am going to blow my new motor so i had a few questions?

If i cut the water thermo sensor would it cause my 7 to flood?

Does anyone know how to tow a 7 with a bodykit can't get to tow hook

Do the syptoms of what i described sound like a blown motor?

can anyone tell me how to hook up the 5th and 6th port actuator?

What would cause the motor to flood and lose compression?

Any tips for installing new 13b engine?

Does it sound like a Fuel System Problem? Injectors? Pump? Air Flow?

Thanks everyone for there input i've been 7 less for 1 year
and i'm trying to get it on the road running great so all is appreciated!

The coolant seals were blown.

Doubtfull it will blow but the injectors should always be serviced with a new motor install.

No it would default to lean on cold conditions making motor extreamly hard to start.

Figure a way out not rocket science.

What series motor? What type of hook up? OEM? Wired open? air pump?

Thats two different things. To much fuel and broken apex seal
