Is there any proof of engine damage caused by a K&N filter or is this simply paranoia?
Got my flame suit on so go for it!

You will likely never know that you have a problem.
The K&N allows more particulates to pass through it than the stock filter. The longevity of the engine, theoretically, is affected by increased particulates in the combustion chamber.
Whether you'll notice the cylinder wear caused by the extended use of the K&N is highly questionable.
