 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.

Ok, what's the best way to manually turn the engine? Don't you have to do something to let the pressure out..or does it go out the exhaust valves? So what is the coolant plug for? Would it be any use when draining the coolant?

The coolant plug is just for that, draining the coolant out of the block. There is one on the passenger side also.

I can leave the port open when bumping the starter or gotta close it up if it takes a couple of times?
I got plans to do stage II/III injectors, GTP38R, and Adrenaline hpop
