That would be a BAD thing, because the cylinder walls need to be oily.

Not only does water injection absorb heat and cool the engine, but while it is absorbing the heat, it converts to steam and expands, assisting the other combustion gasses in pushing the piston downward. This effect would be completely lost if it was steam already.
