Let us consider another demonstration of the false idea of "Shock Cooling."
Bob Hoover, and his Shrike Commander.
I have personally discussed this with him.
He'll come screaming down, past the redline speed, and simply yank both prop levers to full feather (leaving throttles full open, and mixtures full rich).
After a manuever or three with both engines stopped, he'll simply push both prop levers to full forward, and the unfeathering accumulators do their thing, the props start turning, the engines start, and return to max power.
Prop levers to feather, fly, prop levers to full. Over and over again, several times per show, usually multiple shows a day.
His engines routinely go to TBO and beyond.
Shock cooling is a myth, except for what Walter is about to tell you.
