Abstract

A rotor housing for a rotary engine composed of an annular body member having a plurality of axial through bores arranged along the annulus thereof for receiving through clamping bolts and at least one tubular collar member embedded in the body member co-axially along the through bore so as to define the through bore therethrough, the collar member being made of a material having a lower thermal expansion coefficient than the body member and being firmly engaged with the body member thereby restraining the axial thermal expansion of the body member.
