I don't know the right answer to this, but it seems the only problem with no spring would be having unfiltered oil running through your engine. I know thats a big deal but not as bad as the others are making it sound. And thats just my uneducated opinion.

the spring holds the filter against the cover, keeping oil flowing throught the filter and not around.

It just meens that your oil has never been properly filtered.
