You get a replacement engine, no major repairs are done to engines, the "blown" one goes to Germany for anaylsis. Porsche will tell no one about what went wrong with it. You got 40K miles "free" AND I hear new engine comes with a full _new_ four year warrenty (car warrenty will run out as scheduled). There have been some questions as to wether your "new" engine is actually new; it may be reconditioned (NOT used). Will be as good as new but some parts will be from earlier "blown" engines. Then you have the problem of your numbers not matching up?
So ask dealer/svc:
new or reconditioned new engine?
numbers match?
four-year warrenty?
After 40K miles I'd be happy; with fewer, (like 2-4000) I'd be a bit peeved.

It's amazing how low our standards have become with regards to how many miles we get out of an engine. You're not saying a life expectancy for an engine of 40K miles is good, are you?

Tulsa Turbo is correct. Better to have had your fun with 40K "free miles" than 4K.
Especially considering that the car is "never the same" once the engine is removed/replaced at the dealership. IOW, I LIKE the German technicians installing my engine at the factory and like it best when it is done once and only once.
So to have the car "molested" by a mere dealer technician at 40K miles is more tolerable than having it molested at 4K.

Clearly I'm no "wrench" but still want to ask, doesn't the rev limiter prevent over-revving?

Good question. How can this be? Clearly I'm no "wrench" but still want to ask, doesn't the rev limiter prevent over-revving?

It can happen if you try to go from 4 to 5 gear and by mistake engage the 3 gear.
