Dunno about these engines, but one of the common probs is usually valve stems seals

What colour is the smoke ?

Could be something as simple as timing.

The injectors will help if the spray pattern is not working the fuel is just basically dripping into the chambers instead of a mist

Its not as much as the timing can move, on belted systems a worn belt will off set the timing, although I think the vm has a chain drive, more reliable

The thing might be a worn pump itself. Depending on the fuel and use of the pump will make a difference, not as common though.

See if it improves with the injectors before plunging down another path
