Why would you think a new bottom end would increase your compression?
imo what id think is a bent valve, because it isn't even across all cylinders...

It could still be a bad headgasket or rings. But your right, you can't tell unless you do a wet test or a leak down test.

thats not that bad. do a leakdown test to see if its the top or bottom end. i think the rule is that the lowest reading should be within 75% of the highest. not sure on precent. so .75x220= 165 that means your safe. does the car run rough?
