you were well out of warranty... is this just something you think you were able to obtain because:

b) you threatened them with something

OR

are they starting to treat these types of failures differently? your car was "newer" than many of the older 986 here...not sure they would do the same for a 2000... ??

I'm curious..if you know..what it was about your situation that got them to help out financially with it?

glad to hear you have the car back on the road!

Unfortunately, I don't think they're starting to treat these failures [much] differently.

As such, not so sure we'll find out the answers to your questions above either.
Since we haven't heard much of the story other than the car is back w/ new motor and Porsche helped w/ the engine [an offer he couldn't refuse]... I suspect ekam may not freely disclose all the particulars...

If I'm wrong, please tell us, ekam, how you did it

Otherwise, congrats
