An electromagnetic actuator is provided for mounting to a cylinder head of an engine. The actuator includes an actuator assembly including housing structure and an armature. A pair of electromagnets are disposed in the housing structure. An alignment collar is detached from the actuator assembly. The alignment collar has a first end constructed and arranged to be received in a bore of the cylinder head and a second end opposite the first end. The second end of the alignment collar is cooperable with an end of the actuator assembly. The detached alignment collar facilitates assembly of the electromagnetic actuator to a cylinder head. A method of securing an electromagnetic actuator to a cylinder head is also provided.
