It is the most affordable option BUT as John states it will achieve nothing
by way of reducing the running temperature for the reasons he states. On
that basis it's simply a waste of time and money - even if you can readily
afford both.

The radiator should be fine and the engine only has 800 miles on it, so I'm
thinking the cooling system should be clear. I checked the timing and
it's ok
also.

It really doesn't matter what the thermostat opens at. If your
cooling
system will not keep the motor at 180 it sure won't keep it lower,
once
either thermostat opens they have the same size openings and will flow
all the coolant that can flow.
