Unhappy need some help..

Well I am new to the rx7 comunity, but i just got a 88 gxl. it ran great and didnt have any problems untill saterday...... I was on my way to a party, and it started to over heat. i was a bloke from the house and so i slowed down pushed in the clutch and the car just died.... now i have alot of automotive expireance and now my ****.... but not when it comes to rotary. I guess i slept threw that part of class. i tried to go and start it today and nothing... now i had been driving it all day and it ran great. never got hot and the guage stayed right were it always had. but all of a suddon the guage pegged, and the car died. my friend who was behind me said that it started to blow coolant threw the exhaust. with tells me on a normal engine bad seals. but i dont know... any thoughts will help

You probably blew your coolant seals. Time for a rebuild.

Pull the spark plugs, if they are soaked with coolant, rebuild time.
