well the pressure pad looks fine, I think what has happened here is the spring has collapsed ( doubtfull) or the valve sleeve has migrated south not allowing the vavle stem to rise properly. There is not enough spring showing If that is the case you may have a hole in your piston
I would take out the sprk plug get that cylinder to TDC, then compress spring remove keepers and see what that valve is doing. You can use the air method or rope method to keep the vavle from fallign further. That will also let you evaluate the spring
