No context .. but description of improvements of a dumper:

dæksel til motor
Explanation:
Måske er jeg på vildspor, men englænderne har det jo med at kaste en række usammenhængende ord ind, og så må man selv finde ud af den indbyrdes sammenhæng.
"Super silent cover engine" - kunne måske betyde "super silent cover for engine"... .dunno

Ja, noget i den retning - jeg tog det ikke så tungt med at finde det rette ord for motorskjold, motordæksel, motorhjelm - eller hvad det nu kan være på en dumper. Men lyddæmpende i hvert fald.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Den løsning falder også mig ind. Det er i hvert fald logisk. Det kunne blive sådan noget som 'super (stærkt) lyddæmpende motorskjold' ..

Asker: Yes ... og længere fremme i teksten, er det pludselig blevet til 'engine cover'!!! Sådan er det ofte. Man bryder hovedet over en ejendommelig term med den naive forestilling, at den er velment.... og så, tja. Snydt igen. Tak for hjælpen. :-)
