Large, individual, finned jugs for the cylinders with a shroud for a belt-driven fan to make air flow.
They tolerate it OK. One of the problems was that emissions went all over the range due to the semi-controlled head temperatures.
Heat - you had a duct to draw off heat from the cooling shroud. Not good if you have an oil or exhaust leak. You could also get a little gas heater for supplemental heat.
Here's a link to an interesting site. There are a bunch of other ones to google for and a lot of sites on air-cooled aircraft engines.
