Abstract
A bearing frame or cylinder head cover of an internal combustion engine may include at least one camshaft mounted therein. The camshaft may be tunnel-mounted in at least two bearing openings arranged along a bearing channel. The bearing openings may enclose the camshaft. At least one axial bearing disc may be arranged on the camshaft. The bearing frame or cylinder head cover may have at least one recess which is open towards the camshaft. The at least one recess may be configured to circumferentially guide the axial bearing disc via two opposing axial bearing end faces of the axial bearing disc interacting with a side wall region of at least one side wall of the at least one recess, thereby forming an axial bearing for the camshaft.
