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 this out------->7.3 Inspection Hole for Powdered Metal Rod Determination

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.

 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.
