that said, I'd be stupid to say no to $40k for this car.

lol. are you being serious?
I sent in my LNE single row bearing and IMSB shaft for inspection . LNE sent me new stuff as a surprise which was really awesome. now I'm selling the car. if I sold the car 20 years from now, should I still be cutting them a cheque and asking for my old parts back?

If you expect something in return it is not giving it is investing. The best way to avoid disappointment is to give without expectation, in fact it's the only way.

Maintenance <> repair.

With all the issues and it seems you have been through these engines extensively why do you own one? Remember more cars are out there running with good maintenance records than out of commission.

my 3.4 996 engine was killed by a spun bearing, and therefore destroyed crank, two connecting rods, one piston and half a block
repaired the engine, replaced all the damaged bits + new chains and new bearings/gaskets, car has run like a champ no issues for 20 000kms of rather hard driving so far
will see how it goes further on.
at this point the car has 403000+ kms on the clock

I was in a taxi in New York once and got into a conversation with the driver who was also the owner. I asked him how many miles he had on his cab and he replied that was around 250,000. Considering a New York taxi is the worst abuse a car could get, he said he changes all fluids n the car every month. In my opinion, frequent oil changes are the best thing you could do to prolong engine life.
