The valve springs hold the inlet and exhaust valves shut, so that compression can take place in the cylinder. Most valves are called 'poppet' valves and look like a mushroom.
The spring fits around the valve stem and attached at the top by a disc and collets. The valves are opened against the spring tension, by the camshaft lobes, either directly or by push rods.
On most engines the valves and springs are on top of the engine, under a tin or aluminum cover.
Older 'side valve', 'flat head' engines have the valves at the side of the engine block.
Not much can be done to valves, or springs, without first removing the cylinder head. The valve has to be accessed on both sides, in order to release the spring.
