87 300td glow plugs

First of all I would like to thank all for the expert advice you have given me this past week...It is really appreciated.
Wondering if replacing my glow plugs could solve blue smoke when starting.It does go away after the car warms up but it also has become noisy.
Tried to test the glow plugs but cannot locate the relay..Is it in the box behind the fuses with all the other relays? Was told it was on top of a strip fuse but still cannot find it.
Ordered Bosch glow plugs will give changing them a try.
Removed the crossover pipe atop the valve cover could not believe how much soot was inside, assume the intake manifold will look the same.
How difficult is it to check IP timing and if off how to correct?
thanks
Happy New Year to all of you
Carmen
