Abstract
A rotary internal combustion engine includes a rotor housing having a peripheral wall circumscribing a rotor cavity and a rotor disposed within the rotor cavity. A side housing is secured to the rotor housing and a plate defines a seal running surface for the rotor. The plate is disposed between a portion of the side housing and the rotor housing and at least one shim is disposed between the plate and the side housing for spacing the plate apart from contact with the side housing.
