Replacement with a remanufactured transmission on my then-new 997 was a 3 week ordeal (a recall followed). Had no problems (well, with the transmission at least) for the 32k miles that followed.
Dealerships do not rebuild major components like engines and transmissions; it is too time consuming for the service department, and too expensive for Porsche. Remember that dealers charge Porsche for warranty work.

What's the difference b/t the engine originally put in and the improved factory engine in terms of value to the customer?
If they caught the fault before delivery, pulled the original motor, replaced it and shipped, you have a problem with that?
Was there something sacred about the original fastening hardware holding in the original motor?

That expensive new inventory is being put into loaner service nationwide tells me that the above scenario will indeed be the case; it does not seem like the solution will be a minor fix. Guess we will hear for sure tomorrow...

No doubt Porsche would need to sweeten the deal with an extended warranty to placate buyers of said $150k car, or offer the option of a buy-back and next available production slot.
