    Blue Smoke

    Had some bubbling sound in the engine, I have now got the two fans strapped to the rad working via a Revotec controller, had the car idling, when the fans kicked in smoke started to come from the exhaust, adjusted the Revotec to stop the fans, but the smoke continued. Any thoughts?
