Heat soak. Your heads are very very hot but the engine isn't overheating as
you are going down the highway and getting a nice airflow through your
radiator and the RPMs are high enough that you have a good coolant flow
volume. But, now you instantly shut it all down - but the heads are still
very hot - now the coolant that is no longer flowing has to absorb all the
heat - and can start boiling . . . . .
