First have him perform a compression test on the cylinder in question. If good, then it could be an injector problem, or spark to that cylinder.

If compression is low, then the rings are bad or there is a valve problem in the head, or a bad head gasket.

In any case, even if the rings/piston are bad, the cylinder could be fixed or a used engine used to replace it.
