I have sprayed my bay numerous times and have yet to have a problem with the timing belt area. Just cover what you have listed above and you will be fine.

I've been pressure washing my cars'engine bays down for years and never covered a fuse box, distributor, battery, intake filter or anything else in the engine bay. NEVER had a problem. Just make sure you don't do it while the engine's hot. Warm, sure. Hot....no.
