Looks like a valve that may have crashed on a piston head? or A thingy you use to hold down a snake.

It is a custom ground cutting tool that i had made to remove material from around the valve to get the heads to flow better. I had one made for the intake valve as well. It is also called unshrouding the valve. I made it to put the largest radius possible between the already machined portion of the valve area and the wall of the combustion chamber. I was just trying to make my port and polish go quicker and be more precise. Just thought you all would like to see it.
