It would make more sense that if the engine was rebuildable, they would rebuild it and sell it as a rebuilt unit. Maybe not Porsche themselves, but an authorized crew of Elves somewhere in the Black Forest.
That is what I was told by the SM at the local dealer. They do not rebuild the engines.

Given the time it takes to tear down an engine and rebuild it, it may be close to break even on this vs. a new engine that comes off a line.

Maybe?
