Question

On a vehicle engine, what is the translation for the timing cover ?

Answer 1

I don't know much about vehicle engines, bit if the "timing cover" is the same as the "Timing Belt Cover", than it would be "Tapa de correa de distribución."

See: http://www.100autoguide.com/parts/automotive/en-sp/engine/parts/1.htm

Answer 2

"Tapa/cubierta de la correa de distribución" or "tapa de la cadena de distribución", depending on if you have a timing belt or a timing chain.
