1.250 psi
2.255 psi
3.245 psi
4.250 psi

looks high to me, more like diesel pressures, how did you take the figures?
Valve stem seals may be the issue, is it drinking oil?
I would expect @120-150 psi on a petrol
Tbh the gauge could be lying lol.
They key is that they are close, which is a good thing.
A leak down test would help to determine the rings. But as above, seems like stem seals if it's startup smoke
Start up smoke is probably stem seals as the oil seals through as the seals cool down and lose their suppleness... Hard load smoke is either rings or a blocked breather. They do suffer with both rings and stem seals though!
if you can't do a proper leak down test, try running a small bit of oil down the bores and do the same test. As Stu says, they key is they are all well within tolerance.
