I remember reading of a six stroke engine.

The four first strokes was normal, on the fifth, it injected water into the cylinder, the heat making it expand into steam, pushing the piston down, and the sixth stroke ejected the steam.

It was apparently a quite clever design as it reduced the need for extra cooling, and gave some extra range.
