It gets hotter after start, quicker, due to my aggressive leaning practices. It gets hotter after landing than it would if I set the mixture to full rich.

I do have to laugh. What is the very purpose of the procedure quoted by the OP? The very purpose?

To make the engine (actually particular bits of it and EGT).... hotter.

I can achieve that (and keep the plugs and valves clean) without having to blast away at 1,800 rpm in some pre-shutdown ritual.
