That is a head gasket, because it’s the gasket between the engine block and the engine head.
what on earth is an engine topper?

I believe 
would be an engine topper
I was thinking someone who is sexually attracted to engines and is also a dom top, but yours is more appropriate.
A lot of engines have a big plastic trim piece that sits on top and doesn't really do anything except make the engine compartment look tidy. I guess you could call that a topper.

No idea where the term “Engine Topper” is from but I assure you it’s called a Head Gasket in the UK…
I'd rather a
spider on a super collider
literally why would this be downvoted 😭
Because this gasket doesn't go on top!
Because "engine toppers" aren't a thing. That's a head gasket.
