Hi guys,
today I ran into exactly the same issue.
Thing is... it worked not too long ago and I never had an issue until recently.
It's not only tin gears. I encountered the same issue when trying to craft bronze.
Bronze was not that big of a problem since I had the Alchemical Tome I could just EMC the Bronze.
But I can't emc the gears.
I would give myself the gears or the engines for that matter, but when I try to the console throws this error:
>i rehajel 204:2 2
15:24:28 [iNFO] An error has occurred. See console.

Same when I try to /i the engines to me directly.
When i look for "tin" in NEI, I see 3 different Item IDs (30247 "Tin", 5260 "Tin Ingot" and 1257:4 "Tin Ingot"). When I try to /i the tin, I get an error except for 1257:4 which works.
I tried crafting the gears with 30247 and 1257:4, wich I can get through EMC and had no luck with either of them.
If you get Tin Ore and smelt it you create 30247.
Anybody any idea in what direction one could search for a solution?
