"does it get hotter for a bit " No.

The total heat energy of the engine does not increase, once shut down. The water, local to the head, (maybe even external surfaces) may see a temp rise, (compared to when pumping) but the engine has not increased in overall temp.

edit: . . . it's a "transient heat" thang.
