Yeah, if you are pulling the head off then yanking the engine isn't all that much more work. The machining will be better because it goes in the shop.

140 isn't that terrible, either just re-ring it or pull the engine out and do it right. Be sure to do valve guide seals while you are at it, they may be a big part of your problem. With only 95k miles, it is odd that you would get ring blowby.
