The invention provides an internal combustion engine comprising a piston mounted for reciprocating linear motion within a cylinder along a cylinder axis. The piston is coupled to an output shaft by a power transfer assembly arranged to convert linear motion of the piston to rotary motion of the output shaft. The piston has a first head moveable within a first chamber and a second head opposite the first head and moveable within a second chamber. The power transfer assembly has a lubrication system for lubricating moving components of the power transfer assembly. The lubrication system is sealed from the first chamber and the second chamber to prevent the passage of fluid from the lubrication system into the first chamber and the second chamber.
