Your misfire is not a timing issue,it is from the low compression on cylinder 2.. it is possible you broke a ring installing the piston or didn't install the rings properly.

Push rods are likely down in the lifter valley. Time to pull the intake!

That will explain your low compression and misfire! you must not have had the push rod on the lifter correctly or the nut wasn't torqued.
