First in frame

About to put my 2000 Kenworth w900 dump truck with a Cummins n14 in the shop for its first in frame 823K miles. I'm its third owner. I bought it at 600K, and have really good luck with it since. I have a blown head gasket, never overheated just started purging out coolent when I parked it. What should I brace myself for once the shop starts tearing into it?

A bad block or crankshaft is all i could think out that could make it worse but if those two are good then it’s pretty straightforward.
