No valves, the cylinders are just open to the air at their base. Where's the fuel intakes, on the far side?

Good eye, but that wasn't what I was looking for. Back when that engine was built, there wasn't really any standards. European aircraft often had counter-clockwise rotating props. I think the Griffin powered Spitfires had CCW props, and the Merlin powered ones had CW turning propellors.

First, my apologies- it is a rotary engine, and you found the exhaust ports.

 P.S. I once heard an old Navy sailor say that he was told “If it isn’t moving, either paint it or polish it!” Sounds like your experience was similar.  I'm mainly here for the snacks
