Why not? Just pull the valve covers and pull the rockers off and they slide right out. Or I'm wrong because I haven't had my motor apart in a while.

if you take the front valve cover off you should be able to get the rockers off and the pushrods out, however this might be tricky in the back. all i can say is remove the engine mount and try pushing the car backwards, as this may shift the entire engine forward in the engine bay and give you enough room in the back to easily get off the valve cover and the back rocker arms/rods

I thought I gave you this info already?

Trust me its right, otherwise my car wouldnt be running...

You MUST rotate the engine over by hand to tighten the rockers down. You must tighten them with the pressure OFF the rocker arm.

If you assembled it wrong you may have bent a valve already. Even without running the engine.
