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 this 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…
