If you look at the 4th picture from the top, you can see the cam followers. They are the shiny metallic "circles" above the cyliner liners. The openings below the liners just reduce weight and allow oil to drain back to the pan from the cylinder head. Above each liner are two cam followers. The push tubes are still in the top portion of the block, residing behind (was above when the engine was intact) the cam followers. The engine is sized like a heavy duty diesel (roughly 9 to 16 liters), but the fuel system must be a bit unusual or it is actually a very large gasoline engine. Most pushrod diesels have two push tubes per cylinder for valves (intake and exhaust) and a slightly larger one for the injector. For 4 valve per cylinder heads, each pair (intake or exhaust) of valves are actuated by a single push tube via crossheads or some other rockerlever design.
