I should reword my question.
How can I safely rotate the engine over by hand? I would assume it isn't as easy as putting a socket on the crank bolt and turning it like on my Jeep. Does the engine...

I don't think it's a weld opening up. To me it looks like the steel is overlapping and it's only welded on the bottom.
