Exclamation petrol transit engine problems

hi guys, new to this forum and in desperate need of help and advice!

i have a 1993 transit executive petrol 2ltr, it seems to be burning oil, also keeps covering spark plugs in oil so it keeps missfiring! is this pistons rings gone??

also if this is took much work for me to repair what replacement engine(s) could i get??

thank you very much!!

If the plugs are getting covered in oil fix the leak, most likely the rocker cover, DON'T overtighten as this will distort the cover.
As said stem seals go first, but depending on mileage/use/history it could also be rings/bores.
