Abstract: A module may include a receiving element in the form of a bearing frame or a covering hood for arrangement on a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. The module may further include a camshaft that is rotatably mounted on the receiving element and projects from the receiving element to hold a camshaft wheel. The module can be prefabricated for direct mounting on the cylinder head. In the prefabrication process, the camshaft may be locked against rotation by an externally accessible securing part in an angular position for acting on valves. The securing part may extend through a first aperture in the camshaft wheel and through or into a receptacle of the receiving element. After mounting the module on the cylinder head, the securing part can be removed.
