Custom/Hybrid Hot coupler (engine side) Shot bearings? Change or ride??!

[dcptr]

Okay not too sure how hot the coupler on the engine side is supposed to get, rode yesterday and was able to grab and hold it for maybe 5 seconds max. Bearing housing side isnt hot at all, just warm. Pretty sure engine alignment is good. Thinking about continuing to ride for the next week..
Can I turn over thd motor and just unbolt the bottom end of the case to change the end crank bearing?

Nope. This isn't a small block you're working on. Can't change a bearing like that.

Are you 100% engine alignment is good?

Is the rest of your motor running hotter than usual? Or just the coupler?

Everything else is pretty normal for operating temperature, just never really felt my coupler before and seems to be odd that it's that hot.

Engine side couplers get hot, normal...I have checked them before myself and running low hour OEM cranks...

Yup, I remember the first time I discovered this too. I was freaked but it turned out to be normal.

Wow hearing that takes alot of stress off my shoulders.. Could I ask someone, whoever is riding this weekend to have a check for me? Out of all my usual riding mates, I've got the only working ski out of 7 of us!
