[Morrodion]

Don't sign your posts.

are you putting them next to a wooden pipe?

[Morrodion]

not laid any pipe yet (forgive the pun)

You used the wrong wrench, it is the iron wrench to rotate buildcraft engines. Sometimes they like to face stupid directions, just wrench it into shape.

As mentioned before, use the wrench listed on this page: http://minecraftbuildcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Wrench

Also, sometimes I have had to log out and back in to see the changes, so you may have to also.

they need to be placed next to whatever they are powering before they are turned, be it a machine or a wooden pipe. You can't turn an Engine on it own.
