CDA came off, engine ruined?

[IsvenII]

Opened my bonnet today and noticed that my cda was slightly out of the inlet elbow, which connects to the throttle body. I'm not sure how long the ik was out of position. Would like to know what's the worst case senario that could happen to my engine which has be taking in unfiltered air. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

cheers!

i wouldnt worry at all, very very very very unlikely that any damage was done.

And it would take some grit/stones to damage anything significantly in the short term.

probably just got a bit of dust in there at the most.. would have just been burnt off.
