A ceramic composite valve seal for a rotary valve assembly for use in internal combustion engines having rotary intake valves and rotary exhaust valves which have a spherical peripheral surface, the valve seal being of two-piece construction surrounding the intake or exhaust port and having an upper surface designed to contact the peripheral surface of the rotary valve, the two-piece construction defining a channel whereby compressed gases exert additional pressure on the seal enhancing the sealing contact between the seal and the valve. |
