How would you even know if engine or any other part has been replaced? Its not like all of this would be disclosed up front by a seller or a dealership under the CPO program… so then as a customer you’d need to ask for electronic history of the car to be pulled….
Unless you are told, you’re unlikely to know in the case of GT4 RS.
Engine replacement is only a point of note/value in the case of the 991.1 GT3/RS where the impression is that it makes a material difference even though all iterations of that unit E-G have the same weakness its just that the later ones might take a bit longer to show symptoms.

Porsche people are some of the most picky out there in terms of originality of paint, engine/trans and everything else. Not saying it’s right or wrong, just what I’ve observed.

Regarding how you’d know engine replacement, you’d either need to get records from the dealer or get the engine number from Porsche and then compare it to what was on the car.

I will disclose when I sell mine.

An engine replacement definitely doesn't help the value in this case.
You could argue that if the car has 100 000 km on the clock that a new engine would be a good thing, but in a near new car? No, once things are taken apart they never quite go back together the same way they did in the factory and that will probably scare away some buyers. I think the effect would be somewhat small but non zero.

Hence why I said it would be a small effect. Especially when you consider what else might have happened, did the gearbox suffer any incidental damage when the engine seized? Probably not, but it might have. Not to mention I barely trust the average dealer technician to change my oil, let alone replace an engine.

I got the 4RS back with a new engine. It was flat bedded to me, driven off and in my garage until I hear back from PCNA. I was without it for 5 weeks and kind of feel that I have lost confidence in the vehicle. I also think that the replacement engine will hurt the value to most.
Any other 4RS's out there with serious failures that have no been reported thus far on the forum?

I’d be surprised if this could immediately be invoked.
Maybe after multiple attempts to resolved and issues persist. But this ought to be a one and done
