I don't exactly understand how gas got into your cylinders.  The fuel
pressure regulator is connected to the injectors, and cannot directly
dump fuel inside the engine.  If the part itself split in half gas would
flow out on top of the engine.  Do a bit more troubleshooting here to
find out how the fuel got into the engine.

Injectors should be able to hold the full fuel pump pressure for at
least a minute with only a drop or less leaking out, so you might have a
leaky injector.  I am not as familiar with your later vintage model, if
you have a cold start injector that could be leaking also.

I doubt that you bent a rod cranking the engine, but it is possible.
The only way to know without taking the engine apart is that it will
break someday while you are driving down the highway, abruptly ending
your trip and completely destroying the engine.
