With 4,000 or 5,000 miles, why does the engine have to come out for service? I don't understand this with such little miles. Can someone please explain this.

The engine does not need to come out at 5,000 miles.
There is a major service that occurs well above 10,000 miles that includes adjusting the valves.
Like most race engines the Carrera GT has solid valve lifters, not self adjusting hydraulic lifters.
To adjust the valve lifters the engine needs to come out of the chassis.

It doesn't. The recommendation is 24,000 miles or 4 years. Almost all of these cars see 4 years before they see the mileage. Every tech will tell you that it's not needed to pull the engine @ 4 years, but sometimes owners want it done anyway (after all, if you can own this car you're made of money). If the car is driven very infrequently the rear main seal tends to develop a leak, another reason to go ahead and pull the engine @ 4 years.
