Mercury, just as Earth rotates alone its axis. The spin is from left to right along this axis with one rotation lasting nearly 176-days on Earth. Needless to say it is a very slow spin in comparison.

Can you change the rotation direction of engine?

No, you cannot change the rotation direction of an engine easily. The direction of rotation is determined by the design and placement of engine components such as the crankshaft and camshaft. It would require significant modifications to the engine's internal components to change its rotation direction.
