Damned if I can see anything in article 87 which allows changes to the
engine.

"87) a) Each driver may use no more than one engine for two consecutive
Events in which his team competes. Should an engine change be carried out
before the end of the qualifying practice session any drivers concerned
will drop ten places on the starting grid at that Event for each change
that takes place. Unless the driver fails to finish the race (see below)
the engine fitted to the car at the end of the Event must remain in it
until the end of the next. Any driver who failed to finish the race at the
first of the two Events for reasons beyond the control of the team or
driver, may start the second with a different engine without a penalty
being incurred.
b) If a driver is replaced after the first of a two Event period, having
finished the first Event, the replacement driver must use the engine which
was used for the first Event.
c) Should an engine change be carried out after the qualifying practice
session at either of the two Events, any drivers concerned will be
required to start the relevant race from the back of the starting grid in
accordance with Article 130.
d) After consultation with the relevant engine supplier the FIA will
attach seals to each engine in order to ensure that no significant moving
parts can be rebuilt or replaced.
Following the first of the two Events, and within two hours of the end of
the post race parc fermé, further seals will be applied in order to ensure
that the engine cannot be run until the second Event. These seals will be
removed at 09.00 on the day of initial scrutineering at the second Event.
e) Other than the straightforward replacement of one engine unit with
another, a change will also be deemed to have taken place if any of the
FIA seals are damaged or removed from the original engine after it has
been used for the first time."

Well?

It doesn't say you can't...
