It may be OK if you wanted to try it. I seem to remember someone demonstrating running an engine and using Coca-Cola as a lubricant. It would work fine to produce the hydrodynamic wedge in the main bearings to hold the shaft off the shells.

 

There are a few issues though to do with corrosion resistance, cooling of the pistons and evaporation.
