I'll have a go...

If the main bearing on the Np shaft is a plain bearing, as in it requires oil under pressure to provide clearance between metal surfaces, then in my books it's the same as motoring a piston engine sloooowly with the oil pump removed. Probably take a long time to kill it, but not cool.

If.
