High milage .1 gt3 without engine failure

Sorry, are you saying the out-of-warranty cost of replacement of an engine/labor is $150k+? That seems dubious.
Also, particularly for those praying they win the blown engine 'lottery' before warranties expire, it doesn't appear that any 991.1 GT3s are actually out-of-warranty for the engine yet. Who's to say that Porsche wouldn't still comp engine replacement six months or a year after an engine warranty expires? They've clearly shown that they're willing to do the right thing, and GT buyers represent an important segment for the brand.

Towards end of warranty its a reasonable gamble to have a dealer open it up and inspect for the obvious signs. It will cost you about $6K if they find nothing, but if they do it will cost you $0 and you'll get a new G6. After going into limp mode once my SA advised that they open it up, sure enough the signs were there and they replaced the engine under warranty. My car is a 2016 and had a G engine, one of the last off the line. It had 17K miles on it when it was replaced.

I dont want to speak for this person but I believe he's saying that his G0 engine needed to be replaced, at which point a G6 engine was installed. The G6 at current date appears to have solved the durability issues.

No, the parts + labor cost that a few members have shown from dealer invoices is ~40-50k. This is the current difference in typical sale prices between the .1 and .2 cars.

Of course the other issue being early E motors swaps that included Rod swaps and torque related issues.

Your G6 engine needed replacement?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the only difference between G and E/F motors centers around better oil journals and oil delivery. No doubt better materials/processes were used for the FF and possibly the Cams. Additionally, we now know that Porsche rebuilt some of the motors that were returned back but what I'm not sure of if the rebuilt E/F motors ended up with G designations.

Is inspecting the engine itself the only way to check which series engine a car has?

Update for those interested. Engine arrived yesterday. So roughly a week from diagnosis to new engine arriving from Germany. Let's see how long the install takes. Maybe I'll have it this week! Looks like the serial number is G61405 from the crate? I looked up the part number.. https://parts.porscheofannapolis.com...ne-9a1100975ex
$44K + $28K core charge...

Interesting to see where the sequential serials climb each time somebody posts theirs. For reference, I was 1140 in 12/2020... so ~300 replacements since. They must be sick of this by now.
