Compression test: A bit low; but if they are all similar readings, good. Low numbers might be just a tool-technique issue.
Tapping/pisst sound: it's changed Now it's syncopated! it's got a jazz beat! Really, I think it is now not always making a sound on each revolution.
Less sound/volume: You tightened the manifold nuts. That may have actually put a squeeze on the faulty gasket, making it a tad quieter(?)
A word of caution; that spray bottle may be killing the spark. Try to keep the water off the spark plugs.
Well, at least you're getting the engine clean. Might be time to use some tools though.
Good luck with this. I won't be around a computer for about a month, so no responses from me for awhile.
