LOL ! Yup, #4 reading is a tad high. LOL.

How has the car been kept or driven before you got it or how have you been driving since you got it ? If it has been sitting for awhile then continue to drive it normally for awhile and retest. If it has been driven right along then check the valve clearance and do leak test. The leak test can be done simply, nothing fancy. Just enough to see if there is a problem somewhere.
