Abstract
In a process of mounting a camshaftto a supporting member, a shaft bodyis firstly inserted into a first bearing holeF in the front side of the supporting member, before the shaft bodyis axially moved toward the second bearing holeR. In order to get a cam lobethrough a concave bearing portionM in a semicircular arc shape, rotation of the camshaftenables a cam noseto be directed downward, which is opposite from the concave bearing portionM. This enables avoiding the interference between the cam noseand the concave bearing portionM, even when the curvature radius of the concave bearing portionM is reduced. Consequently, reduction of the curvature radius of the concave bearing portionM achieves the downsizing of the supporting member
