You'll have to take the rocker boxes off, or cut the push rods. Your choice.

When I did mine on the 'Train, I PC'd the tappet blocks too. We had to lift the tank, remove the rocker boxes, pull the pushrods out, remove the pushrod tubes and blocks, then put it all back together again. Do once cylinder at a time, and make sure you're at TDC on each of them, makes putting everything back together easier.

Buy a HD Shop Manual before you start screwing around with the engine.
