I use a sheet of aluminium backed fibreglass insulation on top of my engine. I helped a lot while the block heater was heating the engine during our recent cold spell. It also helped keep the engine a few degrees hotter while driving too although i had to be more careful to not let it overheat.
I might take it out for the summer but i'll definitely put it back on in october/november.
