Here's some engine snaps I took: mostly at the Lime Rock Vintage. The first shows a Bugatti with the "backfire vent" in the intake manifold for the supercharger. Bonnet has a matching hole. By the way, Bugattis of this vintage do not have removeable cylinder heads. No head gasket problems, but if you need to do a valve job, the roller-bearing crank has to come out.
