The truck has about 80k miles. Misfire on cylinder 1 coded. Pulled the plugs and both at bent. Oil is leaking into the intake. How do I resolve this?
Both plugs bent

If the plugs are bent, it's a good probability that the piston has slapped them from a bad pin or connecting rod. Having oil in the cylinder could be coming past the rings if they're not broken.
Your going to need probably pull the head and get into the engine to see how bad the damage is.

I would get a scope and look into the cylinder first if possible. You should be able to see marks on the piston if it hit the plugs.

No overheating issues. Does anyone have any idea how much I should be paying for this repair?

Depends if there is damage to the cylinder find someone with a borescope to take a look. You may need new engine weird this happened with low miles not common at all.

Truck still running? Plugs got piston slapped, if was an old Chevy, I would think loose connecting rod. U need to get it diagnosed asap, do not run it, and go from there. If possible, see if U can find a Good Local Mechanic to assist U.

If you don't have a scope, I would regap the plugs, reinstall and start it and see if the bend again.
Always a possibility something fell into the cylinder and hit the plugs and then passed out the exhaust valve - if the gods favor you.

had an ol Plymouth Sapporo that did this. Found a different brand of plug was 2 threads shorter. Put them in and drove it for 3 years.
