Do I have to?

Hi everyone,
I dropped my bike in my front yard while it was running. It didn´t turn off. I picked it up quickly, but it did go all the way down to the right side. Barely made it around the block when I noticed the oil pressure light on and the other light I´m not sure what it is temperature light? the valves where loud. A shop told me, the oil pump probly sucked up air....and now my valves need to be bled. My manual says the only way to bleed the lasher valve is to remover the whole engine to remove the valve and lasher to bleed. Is there another way? Do I really have to take out the engine? There is not a trick to correct this problem. A mechanic said try thicker oil to creat more pressure and get the RPM´s up and maybe blow the air through? I don´t want to creat a leak anywhere.
Thank you for reading...
Please help someone...
