Default Re-torque on head studs

Hey guys I'm looking for some advice ... I usually pay to have my mechanic work dome but I felt froggy and decided to re-torque my studs by myself. I got it all pulled apart pretty easy but I can't get to the studs under my rocker arms ... Do I need to take them off ? And if so what do i re-torque those bolts back down too?

Dang man i would go 150 ft lbs but what was they done at last this matters also go in sequence yes you pull the rockers next time don't rip into something if you don't know for 100% these engines aren't cheap my favorite saying is (if you don't know ask)

Well I got them re torqued but now I can't get the freaking valves gapped right ... Iv gapped them like they say but each time I rotate the motor either the third or fourth exhaust valve keeps coming up super loose... What am I doing wrong
