Repeat 11 and 12 until the jack is fully lowered. I can then just 'roll' the engine as the dolley has wheels.
My method may be crude to some, but I am always a one-man show.
BTW, I also use rope when reinstalling.

I do this also using 3/8 non stretch line. Nylon stretches and will not prevent tipping. The line goes through the mounting plate holes and tub holes. I'll give it 6-12" till it hits a knot. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Engine can't tip over.
