The Clevite CB-979M is a precision-engineered connecting rod bearing set designed specifically for Wisconsin TJ Series 2-cylinder and VH Series 4-cylinder engines. Part of Clevite's M-Series line, these bearings are special-purpose components built to handle engines with severe crankshaft deflections and edge loading conditions.

Key Features:

• Micro babbitt lining (B-2) with nominal 0.006-inch thick layer on hardened steel backing
• Engineered for engines experiencing severe crankshaft deflection
• Enlarged chamfers for greater crankshaft fillet clearance
• Dowel holes in lower halves to accommodate dowels used on aluminum rods
• Enlarged oil holes and grooves for improved lubrication in specific applications
• Standard crankshaft size (stock journal diameter)
• Direct replacement bearing for original equipment

Application:

• Wisconsin TJ Series 2-cylinder engines
• Wisconsin VH Series 4-cylinder engines

Clevite, a MAHLE brand, has been a trusted name in engine bearings since 1929, with a proven track record in professional racing including NASCAR and IndyCar. The M-Series bearings are specifically designed for industrial and stationary engines where crankshaft deflection requires specialized bearing geometry and materials to prevent premature failure.
