OT - "burned" engine head

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 shown. Anybody know what happened?

Just curious, Bob

Oh, yeah ... broken valve. It's right there, embedded in the head. The surface just looked so molten that I thought "heat". And I did take them for casting stock. I didn't appreciate the special-ness of the alloy, but I knew that I could use them. I didn't see the rest of the engine & it's had to believe that it could be repaired. It could still turn up.

Thanks, Bob
