5.9 magnum problem
New here so first off hello to all! I recently jumped on a truck because got a deal on it 1998 ram 1500 4x4 with 5.9 truck was smoking like a train looked in the intake and seen oil standing so thought I was safe. Snatched the intake put new belly pan gasket and of course intake gaskets pulled the plugs figured they were fouled from the oil..found one ground strap gone. Went ahead put new plugs in and started it to find it still smoking and missing and will pop back into the intake at idle but not if throttled some.....I let it run a little figured the smoking was the old oil in the exhaust but it isn’t I pulled the plug and fresh clean oil is on the plug🙈🙈 I pulled the valve cover and checked to see if the rockers where loose to see if possibly bent a valve everything looked ok ...not sure if the piston has broke rings or how the oil is getting on top of the piston or running past the valve? now open for suggestions please

Stock Magnum heads were known to do that, the casting is thin.
