Flight crew of a widebody transport turned early during the initial climb on a SID departure. Captain noticed a hot running engine and had first officer turn early in case a return land would have been needed. However, further throttle adjustment eliminated the problem.

Narrative:
Flight xx air carrier X sea-den on sep/xa/97. After takeoff, had problem with #3 engine running hot. While analyzing this problem, inadvertently turned early at engine out procedure DME (4.3 mi) versus summa 5 departure clearance DME of 8.0 mi. I talked to seatac supervisor who advised me that this change in departure did not result in loss of any traffic separation.
