But if you compress steam, it will revert to water.

i would not use steam at all just because an engine has a lot of metal, steam isn't exactly very friendly to metal, especially if its damaged and could rust through.  Last thing you want is theinside of your engine rusting.  I like the little spinning sander thingy idea.
