I suspect it will be cheaper to replace the sleeves on the four affected cylinders, get new pistons for those four, and replace the crank bearings. Unless you want to get a used engine, this should be cheaper than a rebuilt one.

Sleeves are on the order of $35 or so each, pistons I don't know about (would guess $100 or so, with rings), bearing set about $60. If the crank is good, shop costs would be only disassembly, R&R four (or all six) sleeves, and bore all six holes (maybe $50 each?) and hone to fit.
