There are ways to check and correct that situation that any machinist worthy of the name should be able to do. It's entirely possible that installing those springs without shimming them to the specified assembled height might be a fudge factor that will work in your favor. Nothing beats hands-on measurements instead of speculation on "possibilities" in a chat room, though! I've used the quill on a drill press and a bathroom scale to check spring pressures at times!
