A rotary valve assembly for an internal combustion engine includes a rotatable tubular valve body having a pair of diametrically opposed fluid flow holes that are intermittently aligned with the intake and inlet port of the cylinder as the body rotates. The valve assembly is consequently closed and generally blocks fluid flow to the cylinder when the holes of the valve body are not aligned with the intake and inlet port. The valve assembly includes a valve timing adjuster for permitting selective adjustment of the time during which the valve is open. The timing adjuster includes an inner cylindrical core and an intermediate sleeve positioned concentrically between the core and valve body. The core has a diametrically extending flow-through opening and the intermediate sleeve has a pair of diametrically opposed apertures. The engine is preferably provided with a similar rotary valve assembly in the exhaust. A unique rotary valve seal is also disclosed.
