Do you really need to remove the top rad hose ? i reckon you could just remove the valve cover and check away.
Cricky,, all Valve clearanaces were wrong except 1;
It's very easy to do , BTW this is the first time I've done the valve adjustments myself.
Filler Gauge 0.203 mm ,
No 1 Valve adjustment required , too big of a Gap
No 3 Valve adjustment required , too big of a Gap
No 5 Valve adjustment required , too big of a Gap
No 2 Valve adjustment required , tight gap
No 8 Valve adjustment required , tight gap
No 6 Valve adjustment required , tight gap
No 4 Valve Almost spot on , Slight Adjustement required
No 7 Valve Spot-On
Alright anyone wishing to do their own adjustments, here is a copy of the instructions I found here.

MY08 TDV6 SE D3- permagrin ooh yeah
2004 Jayco Freedom tin tent
1998 Triumph Daytona T595
1974 VW Kombi bus
1958 Holden FC special sedan
yeah you could ,but if the valve clearances are wrong ( as was in my case ) , it's soooooo much easier to crank the crank shaft pully clockwise without the fan ,radiator top hose and intercooler top hose in the way of the braker bar , honestly it's a 5 minutes job extra but you're home. $%$$^ easy.
BTW I'm installing the jase Intercooler 2morrow ,shoud be awesome
Thanks for that PDF. I've saved it away in my directory of useful car things for future reference.
