Personally I don't think water should be allowed anywhere near an engine (it's corrosive); but if this would allow deleting the radiator, hoses, pumps and anti-freeze (which is poisonous to puppies and kittens) it might be worth it.

Yup 5th stroke, as I think I mentioned up above.
It's possible that stainless steel exhaust and valves would be needed, and maybe a more corrosion resistant aluminum block and heads, but I don't see how that's intolerable. Iron engines would probably work fine for testing.
