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?

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 34 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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…

literally why would this be downvoted 😭

[-] Hule@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Because this gasket doesn't go on top!

[-] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Because "engine toppers" aren't a thing. That's a head gasket.
