Why?

If you notice the operator puts his hand above each cylinder. Perhaps to check compression / fuel is reaching all cylinders?

Das boot has a similar sequence where the engineer open a valve on each cylinder on the diesel engines and flames shoot out

A method of verifying that all Cylinders are operating correctly if a Valve is part opened and the Engine slows or changes note it indicate that the chosen Cylinder was doing it's thing. Or it could be fuel bleeding valve ,but not so likely.
