Injection pump fiddling is for after the source of compression loss is identified and corrected. Even if the pump were new and calibrated, #2 would be a source of problems because of the extreme low compression compared to the other cylinders. The grey smoke is a clue that fuel is being injected but not burned (low compression).

Put the horse in front of the cart. Find and fix the compression issues then determine if you have problems with the injection pump. It was running before, since you didn't take anything off of it or fiddle with the internal components it should still be fine.
