piston rings

["Ed & Marsha Prytherch" <mred2u@domain.elided>]

My '79 spider is my 19 year old daughter's daily driver. It has bad rings on
one cylinder and is using/losing a lot of oil. I want to delay the big
engine rebuild until it is back in my possession, so I am thinking about
just replacing the rings. My question is - can I remove the head and liners,
swap the rings and put it back together without opening up the bottom of the
engine?
Thanks.
