    If you have the 770 set and want to go to 795 you will have to change more than the jakes. The rocker arms are different as well. I have rocker arm sets as well. Not sure about the wiring part of that. I know it can be done because we did one about 15 years ago.

    What do I need to change to switch my 795s to 765s?

    Rocker arm assemblies and bolts. Possibly a different valve cover.

    Thank you! I've been searching but can't seem to find a part number for the rocker arm assemblies that I can verify. Would you have part numbers for the assemblies and bolts?

    I can try and figure it out but it might be a while. Got jobs lined up until March 2 at the moment.

    Reman parts are going to be expensive. Are you going to try to find used?

    This is what I think it would take. Before you or anyone else makes a purchase I would CONTACT Detroit and VERIFY that it can be done and that this is what you need.

    I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS INFO IS NOT CORRECT.

    Pricing is a slight mark up from what I can buy it for. So it may be a higher or less.
    Rocker Arms are 23539928 (2) 300.00 each
    Exh Rockers are 23538247 (6) 205.00 each
    Intake Rockers are 23532937 (6) 165.00 each
    Injector Rockers are 23513939 (6) 215.00 each
    Exhaust Adjusters are 23537089 (12) 13.00 each
    Intake Adjusters are 23520818 (12) 25.00 each
    Inj rockers are 23520820 (6) 27.00 each
    Jake brake bars 016687 (2) could not find pricing
    Jake Brake hold down bolt kit 021268 Could not find

    And of course those prices did no include the Jakes. R17537 (3) 2200.00 each with a 140.00 core charge.

    Thank you! I am hoping to find used, I have found the 765 jakes but have not purchased as I didn't know if I could find the rest of the parts.

    I greatly appreciate your help and time away from your work!
     
    Smellfunny Thanks this.

    Anyone have an idea of what Jake’s I need to put on my Detroit 12.7. Says the motor didn’t come out with them from factory.
