Yea, that's my thought, too... it's REALLY light material. Substantial foam, but low mass. I figure it'd be silly to work at removing it carefully, instead of seeing whether it comes off on it's own, which it probably will... the pad laying on the engine isn't like a circlip dropped down the cases. No harm, no foal.
