Totally understand what you're saying about carfax. In fact, my '91 miata has a random false carfax statement saying rear end collision. Never happened.
Anyways, most people aren't like us. 99% of people will see a red warning symbol on a carfax report and walk away or ask for a considerable discount.
This "diminished value" you mentioned wouldn't show up on Carfax, I'm assuming. So how might someone buying a car with a replacement short block even know there was ever an issue? It sounds like the seller is the only person who could provide that information.
In other words, if a short block is replaced under warranty it will have no effect on resale value?
