Will a PPI identify is these upgrades are complete?

Came across a '92 964 cab with no records to speak of. It is currently at a dealer and I am interested in potentially purshasing this car. The dealer says there are no oil leaks and his mechanics says the car checks out. I am not going to take their word for it ( yes, I have read all dealers are not to be trusted) & would have a PPI done before purchase.

My questions is: can a qualified Porsche mechanic tell if the following upgrades have been done on this car via a PPI without having to jump thru too many hoops:

1) Has the Dual Mass Flywheel issue been addressed with the installation of the upgraded flywheel?

2) Has the dual distirbutor issue been addressed? Can this be done by just visual inspection?

3) Has the cylinder head issue been taken care of? I understand Porsche actually took care of this issue on some cars. Can a qualified mechanic easily tell (without having to rip things apart) if this has been corrected?

I understand these are issue that may crop up on '89 - '92 911s. I just want to know what potential issues I may be in for if these have not been taken care of.

Any advice would be appreciated......
