Before the new rule, you could be DQ'd for removing the damper, as the rule required the valve spring to be the same configuration as that listed in the blueprint specifications. So if you had an engine that required a 1.55" dual spring with damper, and you took the damper out, the spring configuration no longer matched the the blueprint specification. A tech man that was so inclined could DQ you.
