> I was considering ways to reduce engine noise and had a thought... > Any thoughts or other suggestions would be appreciated. I don't have any suggestions on how to do it, only want to add that it is worthwhile doing. I recently bought an 86 GL syncro 7 passenger. One of the previous owners had added insulation Anywhere that it was possible. And I mean everywhere. Doors, under the seats, walls, floors, even extra rubber seals around all the doors. I would say that this is by far the quietest vanagon I have ever driven. Very solid sound when you close the doors. A pleasure to drive.
