Re: HELP
From this read I would say the head or gasket has failed between 2.and 3. Source a head gasket, inspect your head and try to get it crack tested off of the engine, or just source another head, if your block is ok. The regulator is quite easy to replace.

Re: HELP
After re reading, change the regulator first and check the state of play. The hoses will go hard when the engines hot, so I'm not sure what they're saying there. I doubt it's the dizzy, it can't differentiate between cylinders. Blowby is normal on worn engines at static pressure. White smoke is over rich. You can smell exhaust gasses in the coolant if the gasket has failed.
The regulator is there for cold starting. The injectors are held open longer when more fuel is required, nothing to do with the regulator, but since the diaphragm is split, fuel is entering the vacuum system and being drawn in to the wet cylinders as the vacuum system is located between these cylinders on the inlet manifold. The black plastic vacuum boxes are also holding fuel
