ABSTRACT:
The side housing of a rotary piston engine has an inner surface which has been subjected to a soft-nitriding treatment to form a layer of Fe-C-N type compounds and thereafter ground to provide a surface roughness of between 0.3 and 15 microns. An oil seal which slidably engages the inner surface of the side housing has a sealing lip constituted by a chromium plating. The arrangement provides an improved wear resistance of the oil seal.
