Series 60 12.7 coolant put of overflow

I started to do mine today. I ended up booking a load. I hate to take it apart, just in case I screw up. Going to have to really take my time. Got a load coming right back. It’ll have to wait another 2200 miles. I’d really like to re torque the head, swap in a reman rocker assembly, new oil pump, accessory drive and ps pump. Replace the oil cooler, o rings and gaskets. Along with a reman compressor, water pump, and fuel pump. That would completely cover everything. All that’s original except for compressor and fuel pump are about 6 yrs old. Water pump has about 500k already. I’ve been piece mealing this Truck for 15 years. Starting to replace things a second time before getting everything else done. I worry about the accessory drive and ps pump bearings going bad and ruining my bull gear. Is that possible? I need to prioritize and do one thing at a time. Rockers seem good. The accessory drive, ps pump, oil cooler are all original w/2.5 mil miles. Oil pump was replaced w/new at first inframe 825k. Bull gear was original, lasted 2.3 mil miles. Was still good, replaced it this time. Only did elbow and check valve this time. Currently have 160k on the new inframe. What do the Pros think? Lol.

The PS pump is driven off the air compressor, so not possible to damage bull gear. I've only seen 6 or 7 accy drives actually have bearing failures. Don't remember any causing addl damage.

I'd retorque the head and do overhead. Use the overlap procedure. Then start with the other stuff
