Just doing a routine check of my spark plugs. I found the threads and tip of spark plug in cylinder 2 drenched in oil. Shined a flash light down cylinder 2 and confirmed I have oil in cylinder. Hoping for the best but if it is a bad piston ring, what's the best and cheapest option. Have shop repair piston ring? Or have shop put in a used KA24DE? I'd go with an SR20, but that's a bit much for me right now. Please help.....

With a bad piston right, sorry to say, whatever step you take... it's not going to be cheap. Unless you can do it yourself.
