In an arrangement and method for mounting a camshaft onto a cylinder head of
an
internal combustion engine by camshaft bearings disposed on the cylinder head of
the engine camshaft bearing by support seats which are formed integrally with the
cylinder head and bearing caps which are formed integrally with a cylinder head
cover mounted onto the cylinder head, at least one of the bearings is an assembly
bearing with a separate assembly bearing cap that has a bearing opening of a diameter
greater than that of the camshaft so that the camshaft when placed onto the bearing
seats is not fully moved into the bearing seat openings but is fully engaged with
the bearing seats only when the cylinder head cover is mounted onto the cylinder
head whereby the camshaft in the assembly bearing is moved out of contact with
the assembly bearing cap.
