The #1 cyl is a little low, but not a disaster. A tea spoon of oil in the spark plug hole will tell all. 150 psi is really good!

If you put the screen back in your PCV, take it out and throw it away. All it does is collect dirt and get clogged.

Did you try the poor man's tune up yet? Take it out to the highway and leave it in 2nd gear doing 70+, if that is legal in your state. That will blow some of the carbon out, twirl your valves for a better fit, and may free up some blockages. Especially when you let off the gas and coast (lots of vacuum) down to 50mph before full gas back to 70+.

Ensure that the small tube going to your PCV is free and clear and that the vacuum tree is not clogged.
