Removing heads with roller rockers?

removing my heads, i have crane roller rockers and i was wondering how i get the rods out by no taking off my rockers... is there two rods per rocker or what? the ones that go past the intake are visable becuase i ahve my lower off, is there another rod in the spring part? Tell me what to do, im taking these heads to a mach shop to have them flattened and valve job, and hot dipped. Thanks
 
the machine shop is going to pull the rockers off anyway..If they are stock heads, they are ped mount and just bolt down. Its not a big deal. If you really didn't want to take them off, you might be able to loosen it enought to pitiv the rocker away from the pushrods.
 
one rod per rocker, two rockers per cylinder
the rod in the spring part is your valve. you need a compressor to pull the springs. Let the machine shop do that. Unless you have a spring compressor...
