I would listen to Comp. If they say remove the spring,remove the spring. If you wipe a lobe,you have nobody but yourself to blame.You certanily wont be the first person to do this,its pretty common practice.I would also use their break in oil.
Good luck !
i agree with johnny on this remember if you wipe a lobe the whole engine has to come appart to clean that metalic **** out it would be easier to just follow comp cams instructions.
