After run-in to get engine hot, can you retorque the head bolts to 75 ft. lbs without removing the rocker arms?  (the ends of the rocker arm shafts are interfering with head bolts ).  If you have to remove the rocker arms do you have to re adjust the valve lash again?  Thanks as always..

You should re-adjust the valves anyway, re-torqueing the heads will move the heads closer to the block, affecting your initial adjustment.  The change will be very small however.
