Ahhhhh, I don't know, the guy who's car I worked on, he was driving his all the time like this. Don't know if I'd sweat it too much, you have a new tensioner and spring right?
You'll only get the inner ratcheting piece to go just "so far", to get rid of the noise you'll have to fix it.
You can try and alternate method to clear the passage, sure, can't hurt to try, I know I did but the stuff blocking the oil galley was back on the block side, not in the cover, there was only a little in the cover.
The chain isn't loose enough to jump when the spring is in place, but when you do the test the spring is NOT in place, so that's why you need to hold it in. It's just loose enough to make the noise.
