Looks like you still have the pushrod cover (fully) installed. (?)
Remove the pushrod cover lock, slide the lower cover up out of the tappet guide, upper tube cover down out of the head, allowing the lower end of the rod to swing inward toward the cylinder. It'll come right out.
If you have taken the engine-to-frame top link loose, you may have to pull the top of the engine toward the cam side to get it out. Especially on the jiffy stand, the engine tends to lean over to the left when the link is disconnected.

If you're interested, I'll continue to post my progress (with pictures) on my other thread titled "Valve Diagnosis"
