Thanks for playing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Who's next?
I'll add a hint. It's definitely aftermarket.

Obviously belongs in a museum of modern art. Some people pay big money for those! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looks like it may be a piece of the factory goo at the mitered corners of the engine tin perimeter rubber gasket at the tin-engine shelf. AKA "bituminous rope caulk"

We were looking in the engine compartment.
It was even hard to see with the car on the lift. We couldn't tell what it was until it fell out.
It's harder than any rubber or caulk.

A protective cap on a live wire ? Like the ones you see on modern cars protecting/hiding the battery + side where wire meets terminal ?
(But then of course melted turning it into carbonlike hardness)

I saw this on TV on the infomercial with that guy Phil who cuts the boat in half then tapes it back together. It's a new product to improve compression and stop leaks on old engines. You can put it on the outside of the engine where there's a leak of any type.

Or you can put it in the intake to get sucked into the combustion chamber to seal rings. Once in the cylinder, it rummages around inside like a person chewing dentyne gum to clean your teeth. Putting it in the intake may take longer to get into the combustion chamber so the quick way is to remove a spark plug and insert it directly into the combustion chamber with a chopstick.

Where does it go?

In the trash.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I guess the bigger questions are: where did it come from and what was it supposed to do?

Yes, you are absolutely correct.
Although Spoke's answer was very close. The Dapo may have gotten the idea from watching an infomercial.

This is where we first saw it.
The purpose was even more nefarious than we first guessed.

To 'repair' a crack (and oil leak !) in the block due to a overtightened sump plate.
