Nope, you're not being paranoid - you really don't want to break the
figure eight seal at the bottom of the liners. What you need to do
if you're going to rotate the engine is to use some washers (and
maybe a piece of copper pipe as a spacer) and nuts on the studs (once
you've replaced them) to keep the liners from shifting. I won't
try any ascii art, but it should be pretty obvious what'll work.
