I recomend pulling the sleeves and putting new rings and pistons. if you do the ring trick its just a quick patch, you might get away with it for a few hundred hours then you'll be back to square one blue exhaust or better yet oil spattering out of the exhaust. I strongly recomend replacing the sleeves & pistons if you just replace the one you will have this problem once the "new" cylinder has broken in the power out put will be more the the other 5 cylinders causing strain on the crank eventually causing a bearing to spin or a connecting rod to come out the side of the block. if its worth doing its worth doing right.
