Mine is spitting a lot of oil, enough that it is dripping off the oil pan after driving. I assume re-ringing the engine is inevitable, but hopefully not worse than that?

Oil is not overfilled per the dipstick, it is about 1/4 quart low.

It does have the baffle in the dipstick tube.

I'll do a compression test. If re-ringing/honing is necessary, is it as simple as dropping the oil panel, unbolt the con rods, remove the head and push the pistons out the top?
