But I don't get the instructions right. Does the engine need to be out of the vehicle. Because the manual says rotate the engine.

When the manual says to rotate the engine, they are referring to the act of
taking the dogbones loose, these are the brackets that hold the engine in place on top and keep it from twisting during accleration and reverse operation. When these are loose, you can rotatate the engine forward or backwards to get at stuff easier. I did NOT, however, find this was needed when I did the intake gaskets on a 2000 Montana. I can see it might make things easier, but I did not have to do it. Although you have to do the spark plugs pretty much by feel alone.
