yes you should always do that, you will put less stress on the engine parts when you start it up, and you engine will last longer if you do that. it will also always be easier to start.

Yeah heat will cause everything to expand and make the engine easier to start. It will definitely be easier on your pullstart and even easier on your fingers .
