Default Installing rocker arm assembly

Well I've got my 3mm head gasket in and the head torqued back down, but now I'm trying to put the rocker arm assembly back on. The thing is very difficult to get back on, those lil buggers keep moving around and getting in the way etc. Any tricks to getting it back on? The helms simply says "install rocker arm assembly".

This is where I'm at:


Thanks!

Put rubber bands to hold them together, then cut them off once their installed?

Then the spark plug tubes won't be able to go through. The Vtec rollers are also too short to rubber band together. I will give it a try when I wake up though if there are no other ideas.

You can zip tie the rockers together.
