An engine housing for an aircraft rotary engine includes a rotor housing and a side housing assembly. The rotor housing includes a rotor housing body. The rotor housing body extends about an axis to form a rotor cavity of the engine housing. The rotor housing body extends between and to a first axial end and a second axial end. The side housing assembly includes a side housing body, a side plate, and a seal assembly. The side housing body is disposed at the first axial end. The side plate includes an inner side, an outer side, and a perimeter edge extending from the inner side to the outer side. The seal assembly includes a support ring and a spacer. The support ring and the spacer extend about the axis. The support ring is mounted to the perimeter edge by a braze joint. The spacer extends between and to a first axial spacer end and a second axial spacer end. The first axial spacer end is disposed at the support ring and the outer side.
