RE: [T3] Engine started! As did new problems...

[Chris J Valade <redyouth@juno.com>]

        Is there any way to remove the gen pulley and crankshaft casing
without removing the engine so I can straighten it?  As regards the hole
in the casing for the gen pulley, should that rest around the silver
depressed part of the generator as far back as it can go, or where?  And
should it be quite tight, just fitting around it, have a gasket of some
sort, or what?
        I have to get a 15mm socket before I can check the tightness of
the lower head nuts, but would those being loose cause an air leak, cause
Muir says it would sound like Thor was hammering around in there, which
it doesn't.  I was then looking at a air hose diagram and noticed that
there is one hose from the air cleaner to the cylinder heads, and I don't
recall seeing any such hoses (fuel line, but not air) going towards that
part of the engine, so should there be?  Is it possible they are plugged
and the one on the left is loose?  Or maybe they are just open... 
Regardless though, where does this hose connect to the cylinder head?
        That noise sounds like a small leak since it isn't an immediate
loss when I hear it, but a quick leak (when rotating the engine, it
is--as would be expected--much quicker with the engine running).  Could I
have a crack in the cylinder?  How would I find out?
        In a different diagram it calls what I thought to be the
crankcase breather the oil breather...is this just a different name or
something completely different?
        Also, could someone direct me to a good source of information on
the exhaust system?  I have some gaps in the piping.  Is the exhaust
system more important in this sort of engine than a water cooled?
        I have just ordered a used copy of the official service manual,
i.e. the Bentley and it should be here sometime between now and two
weeks=\
