Brian these engines have tubes that drain the blower air box.On a good sound engine there is not a lot of leakage from these tubes and a person is able to somewhat tell the condition of the engine based on this. These engines will run and make power even when very worn. They are well designed in that the in-line 71 series engines can be assembled in 6 different configurations.The crankshaft and head can go end for end,left or right hand rotation,camshaft can go end for end or either side of the block, blower can be set up right or left hand.They will run with heavy fuel and this is why the military used them in landing craft (D-Day) High hp for weight ratio. The V engines could be bolted together to form V 12 or V 16
