Wow can't believe it's been right at 1YR since this originally all happened. I'm happy to report my second engine that came 100 miles on it is still going strong almost 16,000 miles later including 3-4 auto-crosses and a couple of track weekends in Memphis, TN at MIR.
Considering I got to keep my original engine I feel everything worked out for the best though this is not the ideal situation, I've kept up on the forum and have noticed multiple other FR-S's and BRZ's having "rod 4 bearing failure" which honestly seems like a production issue.
I noted to others that my car originally had a history of engine "issues" and visits from Toyota engineers / service techs specifically to look over said engine issues throughout the early life of the car. Car was always serviced at the purchasing dealer along with normal oil changes, etc. which still lead to a pre-mature failure of the rod 4 bearing.
For others that didn't have the situation I did Toyota needs to make these things right and take care of the customers, mine had full oil and has always been checked along with the maintenance and service schedule. Toyota is just trying to find a way to shift blame and not have a recall or "attention" situation on hand.
I also wanted to note to everyone check your engine front covers, the oil pump housing that's stamped. My original engine with all the issues and ultimate failure as others was stamped with "#1" and a eagle / bird on the engine. My current engine that's been issue free these last 16,000 miles so far has a "#2" with no eagle /bird stamped on that same front cover. Revision possibly? Possibly from reviewing engine issues and cases early in release after the initial cars starting rolling off lots? Not sure.
All my friends in my local Auto-x and track groups that have these cars got later 13 / early 14 models and all noted they have the "#2" stamp on their front engine cover, food for thought.
Hopefully some of this information is helpful to others out there
