How many 15-16 gt3's have engine replaced?

I hope it will happen. Then Porsche will not get away when my engine fails out of warranty saying that the warranty has expired. It will be a well documented (if not already is) design issue.

No one will easily see the # on a new engine.

I have no certificate. All I have is a "T7" record with no stamp in service book.
Dosn't matter anyway, as this 2nd and already rebuilt engine is not the last one for this car anyway.

I got the certificate and stickers for the second engine, but they have failed to produce them for my third. I gave up trying to get the third engine stickers. The car has 23,000 miles, so its not going to be a collector car. The service paperwork for the engine replacement has the new engine number, so I'm good with that.

PRINT AND SAVE!!!
Time for all of us beta testers to PRINT and SAVE this thread. I am going to print multiple copies and save one in a safety deposit box!!!
Those like me with MY 16 Nov 15 build may just be lucky enough to have the engine that just barely slides over the wrong side of the warranty expiration line and then kabooms. No way am I buying a new motor that will still be a low mile Porsche "halo" car. PAG is getting the benefit of the doubt from me. And it's a wee bit foolhardy to think any of us will drive the car right up until warranty expiry and unload at any kind of reasonable price whatsoever.

Did Porsche handle most 996 Engine failures (due to the rear main seal) properly post warranty?
I'm going back 12 years and recall a buddy had the failure and the engine was replaced after warranty. I'll dig on that one some more..but if my timeline recall is correct I could be a bit more optimistic on the current 991 GT3's engine concern and with all this detail I think we could be ok.
Now who wants to sell me some swampland? Apparently I'm in a very optimistic state of mind.
