Step climb versus climbing at a higher indicated airspeed.

I read some "good" comments about step Climbing to cool the cylinders and the oil.

Why not simply climb at a higher IAS and prevent the problem completely while gaining better forward visibility doing so.

And? It prevents the cold-hot-cold-hot-cold cycle completely.

In warm weather, where oil and cyl head temps might be an issue, just climb at a higher IAS and keep the temps stable.
