blown radiator hoses

i really know alot about the rx world but the strangest thing has gone wrong with my 85. after selling it and buying it back, the car is now blowing hoses like a shotgun. i mean antifreeze all over spark plugs when pulled. but the car still freakin flys. just hard to start sometimes with water in way of plugs. does this mean cracked head. and the compression is going into radiator???????????????????????? anyone have a 85 engine for sale maybe. i would love to dump a new wankle in her....... please write back.

Well rotarys have no heads... But what happens if the car has overheated before the aluminum housings warp and coolant leaks into the combustion chamber... Thats how my last engine went...
