The post someone made as a comment covers 2 important issues.

1.) Oil emulsification, as piston seals are never 100%.

2.) It could infact be harming the fuel efficiency of the engine, An engine uses the residual heat to help ignite the fuel thats injected, by getting rid of that heat.. you could infact be lowering fuel efficency of an engine, purely to get it back in the last cycle.

I wouldnt be concerned with the efficiency being lowered too much, as the water injection would partially - if not wholly - replace the conventional water cooling setup of the engine. it can be set up to only come on once the engine is up to temperature, and if the water entering the cylinder is as hot as the regular coolant, then it should have a comparable effect on cooling.

this means the cooling would still take place, but instead of venting this heat to atmosphere via a radiator, it converts it into power via expansion.

Its a STEAM ENGINE.

You only need HEAT to make STEAM. So Petrol as a heat source is only one solution....yes, we have a half-way house here using the excess HEAT from a COMBUSTION engine.

But...think about the future possbilites....instead of going back to using solid fuel (coal / wood ) to heat a boiler to make steam and drive the pistons. You could use another heat source....NUCLEAR.

NUCLEAR fuel (metal rods) produce HEAT...the heat output is controled by mass, the more mass the greater the heat output...so in a NUCLEAR power station the metal rods are moved closer and further appart to control the mass.

Water is then added which turns to steam and powers electric turbines.

The same principle could be used in a CAR engine. Simply, using a pair of NUCLEAR fuel rods and a tank of water. Starter motor cranks the engine and pumps in the water, nuclear rods are at full contact and producing heat...water vaprosises into steam off we go.

And heres how you do it! Make the internal Pistons and Cyclinger out of Plutonium. As the engine rotates, the piston rises in the cyclinder, thuss moving the nuclear fuel closer together, mass increases, heat produced, water added, steam forces piston down in power stroke...etc and we have a NUCLEAR POWERED CAR ENGINE !!

lol some how i can think of loads of reasons why that is not going to happen

Crash the car, radioactive material EVERYWHERE.

itll never work.
