My 2005 Jeep Liberty has ran hot and now I have water in oil and dead cylinder on passenger side. Was a good motor till this happened. Is it worth fixing or do an engine swap?

Unfortunately, there is no way to know until you pull the engine apart and inspect. Is it worth it? Depends on the rest of the Jeep's condition and how long you are planning on keeping it.
