There's certainly no harm (and lots of good!) in replacing the thermostat
while the cooling system is in dry-dock, but the thermostat is not the OP's
particular problem here. See my other post.

The heater core is an amazingly efficient heat-dump device. You wouldn't
think so due to its size, but it is. It can very easily compensate for a
rad that can't shed as much heat as it was designed to.

That's my view. The thermostat is a good target because it's inexpensive and
probably due for replacement while the coolant is drained, but the symptoms
are pretty classic for a plugged radiator. The plastic tanks in the radiator
are also plotting to crack, I'm sure.
Remember, 'pinkfloyd' - OEM only on the thermostat and be sure the system is
properly purged of air when the system is refilled with Honda premix (never
add tap water).
When you replace the radiator and thermostat, you can Set the Controls for
the Heart of the Sun and still stay cool. ;-)
