Abstract

A pre-assembled camshaft module for attachment to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head cover, at least one camshaft, and bearing elements to which the camshaft is rotatably mounted. The bearing elements are formed as bearing brackets, which are connected by attachment members to the cylinder head cover at individual attachment points, in order to produce the pre-assembled camshaft module. The camshaft module is connectable to the cylinder head at the attachment points by the attachment members.
