Thank you.

For future reference, I was able to unwind the valve spring from around the steel striking face (tappet), and gently re-shape it.

Not a perfect fix, and I had damaged the circumference of the metal valve components a bit while trying to disassemble it, so it still sticks, but less often and less dramatically than before.

I'm pretty sure this is just a lemon valve, not much to be done about it.
