Hello all, I have a question, do you think it would be possible to damage my engine if I lifted the legacy from the crankshaft and tail section, rotated it 45 degrees and moved it down a driveway? It would be on the rotisserie but the engine mount and engine would be installed, I would need to move it from the backyard to the frontyard down a narrow (less than 10ft wide) pathway.
