Engine cranks, no start, overheated. Replaced crank and cam position sensor, has spark, fuel pressure okay, all fuses okay.

It sounds like the engine might have no compression due to the overheating, can you please upload a short video of the engine cranking so I can see if it is hurt or not? Please watch this video which will help us as well:
