Rational is, engine has so few miles on it and only has the compression issue on the #2 cyl so seems that's probably the issue.
I agree with your solution but, I would have tried to isolate the "odd lower end noise" before pulling it out.

Did the oil pressure drop, at all, after the puffing started? The other thing that I'd check out is the wrist pin and piston.

Can you describe the odd noise?
