Kelly,

Valve adjust (rockers) is somewhat of a semi-regular maintenance procedure and does not involve "taking the enigne apart" but you do have to remove the rocker cover. $10 glow plugs - good deal! or not?

   I can't speak for Niehoff glow plugs but I think I have paid a chunk more for Bosch or others. Your problem could also be the timer-relay thingummy (blue or black box above the rear of the rocker cover).
