Module with pre-oriented camshaft

A module comprising:

• a receiving element configured as a bearing frame or a covering hood and configured to be mounted on an internal combustion engine, the receiving element comprising a receptacle;
• a camshaft rotatably mounted on the receiving element, wherein the camshaft projects from the receiving element;
• a camshaft wheel coupled to the camshaft, the camshaft wheel including a first aperture formed therethrough and a second aperture formed therethrough;
• and
• a securing part that remains accessible when the receiving element is mounted on the internal combustion engine, wherein the securing part is removable, wherein the securing part comprises a pin configured to maintain the camshaft in an angular position and prevent the camshaft from rotating, wherein prior to removal the pin extends through the first aperture of the camshaft wheel and through or into the receptacle of the receiving element, wherein the securing part further includes a catch that is configured to extend through the second aperture, engage the camshaft wheel, and axially secure the pin in position when the catch is so engaged.

A securing part for releasably maintaining a camshaft rotatably mounted on a receiving element in an angular position, the securing part comprising:

• a bridge part;
• a pin extending from the bridge part;
• two flexible clip legs extending from the bridge part on opposite sides of and along the pin, the two clip legs each including a latching lug;
• and
• two handles extending from the bridge part in a direction opposite the pin, wherein squeezing the two handles towards one another causes the latching lugs of the two flexible clip legs to separate.
