HELP!! Cant remove valve springs, the whole valve moves with the spring , here are the pics of what is ment to happen. when i press mine down it does not expose the two little collars - arrows point to them in pic 1 - that hold it on they just move down with it . what do i do??

its non turbo which is a shame, and its in a bit of a mess atm ! not sure how much it would be to turbo it though, i can get some more pics that are clearer? and could you explain what valve reseating is im not sure exactly ? how will i knowwhats causing it to leak ?
