quit being lazy and do it right.
You can spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to do it the ghetto way, possibly ending up with a FUBARed engine. Or you can follow the book, do it right, and not have to worry about asking us questions or something going wrong.

That pulley spins too fast for you to drill a hole in it and not affect anything. It's gonna be off balance and who knows what damage it will cause in the head. Do it the right way once, or do it the wrong way and end up having to pull the head anyways.

here is what ive got so far, ive managed to push the rocker arm rod out but it still needs 5 more inches.
i need a crowbar (someone borrowed mine to rob a place and got arrested) i bent my screwdriver trying to move that ******.
seems to be working though.

Its just very hard to move that rod the rocker arms sit on. a crowbar should do the trick.

took me like an hour and a half at max to remove the head.
i want to do something to it while its off i got the new OEM headstuds and OEM headgasket, no autozone ----.
:1boosting would be soo easy but i have to many other projects.
