02?

If it's the original engine, 99.99999999LMNOP% that it does.

Unless you plan on big power, no need to worry about it.

If its an 02' its got PMR's.

Buut, if for some reason the motor was changed it could have forged rods.

Check by engine S/N located on valve cover or on the block where the oil cooler is bolted up...

Start of production through 1425746 are forged rods
1425747 through 1440712 are PMR
1446713 through 1498318 are forged
1498319 through final production are PMR

Sorry, but even the serial number chart is wrong. It's bad information. I have proven it twice.

One engine was supposed to have PMRs...was forged.

One was a disappointment.

The ONLY way to know is to check.

Good info to know...thanks Cody

Is that the purpose of the inspection port? Or is there anything else to check when having it open? And is there any pre-steps to do before taking the plug out?

AND...is a sure fire thing that you will be able to tell through the inspection hole...or do you have to manually turn the engine? And what is the plug above the inspection port?

You WILL be able to tell through the inspection hole. However, you may need to rotate the engine a little to get a rod cap to line up.

No preparation short of finding/making a 5/16" square drive.

The plug above is coolant....you don't want to take that out.
