It is physically impossibly for the water not to remove heat from the block and engine parts. Especially since water has such a massive specific heat capacity, it's quite a substantial amount of cooling in the case of water injection.

*chuckle* Well, let us know how that works for ya.

You guys are very quick to assume. The fact that you've never heard of it has little to do with the possibility of it being a viable idea. It's not just a good idea either - it actually exists.
Bruce Crower (I'm sure you've heard of Crower internals) has invented a highly efficient single cylinder 6-stroke gas/steam engine. Not only does the water injection/steam help make the fuel last longer, but it helps in the cooling process as well. The engine doesn't require a radiator.
