Valve collet.

Never seen a collet like that before, been working on landrover and tanks for past 12 years tho. Best check they are all in before next meeting then. But would have thought if 1 had popped the other side would have gone too and dropped a valve. And senna! Com on me over rev, if she has dropped a collet it was probably due to that race, the old girl have you a run for ya money lol.

Can't imagine how that got there! Its a half ring that holds a valve in, I would check all your valves, can't see that it got there through an oil way though?

When you find something like that you need to investergate were it came from! It could be expensive if you don't.
