Compression numbers, what do they mean? UPDATED: PICS. Massive carbon in lifter vall?

Qstate every 4000mi since I owned it (bought it at 75k mi, now has 148k mi).
Most of the driving I did with this thing is highway, I run it basically at 75mph on the highway (mi 70mph speed limit is awesome!).
So how does this translate to 35% compression loss in no 3. cylinder?
Is it feasible to think I can just clean the engine, mabey hone it, new rings, valves, bearings and cam, and it will run good? Lifters probably too?
The pictures look better then it looks in person, in one spot it's at least an inch thick
