Also, the combustion gasses in the coolant tester, a so called block tester. Right now you are partially guessing what is wrong. Testing is better. Just my humble opinion.
I don't, and will never trust those combustion gas testers. I used one on my 4Runner before the engine completely let go. Two cylinders, TWO were blown and it didn't pick up anything. Hell, it was so bad I had to change the coolant every 200 miles to get it from turning into sludge!

Xist please don't trust those autozone gauges. Go spend 30 bucks and buy one from Harbor Freight. They work awesome.
