There were 2 heads at the dump, each for 2 cylinders - from a a v4
engine I'd guess. Each of the heads had 1 cylinder badly "burned", as

Just curious,

I'm surprised that the rest of the engine wasn't there as well. Looks
like it sucked a valve and most likely took out the piston and
cylinder as well. That must have been noisy before it was shut down
or came to a screeching halt.

Wow, no kidding! It looks like it was either revving high when it
happened or was run for a long while after that valve cut loose.
That's a fully -peened- finish, innit?

I'm thinking this was from a crotch rocket in the hands of a 20
something who just kept it wound tight. Lot's of them around this area
who don't even seem phased at all when an engine let's go.
