Consider this possibility. 4cyl engine. Substitute radiator with heat exchanger. Fabricate waterjacket around exhaust system. Run two cylinders in conventional manner. Control steam flow in remaining cylinders using exhaust valve as steam inlet, intake valve now becomes steam exhaust. Condense post power producing steam back to a liquid. Pump liquid back into heat exchanger.
