Abstract
A method for mounting a camshaft module may involve a module that includes a module cover in which a camshaft is accommodated. The camshaft may comprise a main shaft and a plurality of displacement elements with cam tracks formed thereon for valve-control purposes. The displacement elements may be arranged at predetermined positions in the module cover. The main shaft may be guided along a shaft axis through accommodating passages of the displacement elements. The method may involve arranging a first displacement element in the module cover, introducing the main shaft into the module cover and guiding the main shaft through the accommodating passage of the first displacement element, arranging a second displacement element in the module cover, rotating the main shaft about the shaft axis by an angular amount, and advancing and guiding the main shaft through the accommodating passage of the second displacement element. Further, the displacement elements are arranged in the model cover with an identical rotary orientation about the shaft axis.
