rubber pieces from air filter falling into engine?

[outersquare]

I got a K&N filter (for free) and i notice the rubber seals are kind of poorly made. I trimmed off some of excess stuff around the filter media.

My question is, if some of the seal material came off and went into the engine, how bad would it be? Talking paper thin pieces maybe 1-2mm square.

Well it sounds as if it has not caused any damage,But get it fixed just in case a big chunk falls off and motor starts coffin.
