Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the simplified and accurately positioned fixing of a camshaft module with a camshaft and bearing blocks on a cylinder head. The bearing blocks, aligned in axial direction and with respect to an angle, may be fastened on the camshaft. The camshaft may be aligned via two alignment elements with respect to the cylinder head. Further, the individual bearing blocks may be screwed tightly with the cylinder head with simultaneous or interim rotation of the camshaft.
