If you just want to do it on the cheap, I'd re sleeve that cylinder, replace the piston rings, and replace the rod and bearings. Measure the piston to make sure its in spec first. Then put on a new head gasket and button everything up.

How many miles? If the rest of the engine is tight this is probably nota bad option. If its got like 300k+ miles on it then its short block time.
