Default Compression Numbers/ Leak Down?

I recently did a compression test with bad results!!

High compression ls/vtec.

C1= 125
C2= 120
C3= 250
C4= 250

after adding oil to 1 and 2 they both jumped up 250.

Is this a sure indication that my rings are bad or possible cylinder wall problems?

Should I perform a leak down test to further narrow the problem.

Yes it is consuming massive amounts of oil.

Any advice would be great.

Zach

But it ain't no simple "oil change" either.
Bleh to internal work.

so how much would a job like that cost for someone else to do it? I think colen (< name spelling?) was going to just change my rings for $300.
