Well that's probably because you're trying to hook it up with something that won't accept BC power, that's why it won't automatically turn towards what you're trying to get it to power. Also, make a BC wrench and you can turn (I think engines too) most BC parts in different directions.

-Also, I don't think this is a bug.

Please, the tekkit lite community can provide you with support, but as you may have noticed this is not a tekkit lite problem.

there is no crash, no nothing. its just you failing to get something working ingame.

Please go find support on the specific mod forums.

thanks.

PS: if this is a tekkit lite problem, please provide LOGS, otherwise its not.

Well the last time I checked, if a BuildCraft engine isn't meant to power something, it's not going to rotate towards it or pretend to power it. No need to send him off to SirSengir's forums to post logs for something that doesn't need it, lol. Maybe try an engine from Thermal Expansion on whatever you're trying to power?

If it were 2 mods interfering it would surely pop up in the logs.

AND

OP doesn't say MP/SP.

So my entire post is to "POINT" OP at the fact that he did not provide anything that could help US from helping HIM.

Sure he was lacking the information needed to solve a more complex issue, but the issue at hand was easily resolved by informing the OP. He provided just enough information to surmise that it's not a bug and in fact just a misunderstanding with how Buildcraft operates. You offered zero support by coming in and telling him he didn't provide enough information to solve a bug that isn't there. Also, this is the Tekkit Lite Bugs section, is it not? Why then would a bug with Buildcraft, a mod included in the Tekkit Lite modpack by default, not be considered a Tekkit Lite bug?

As we have no screenshots of what he is trying, it could be not a bug at all, it could be him failing to build stuff ingame.

there is not a single indicator that this is a BUG.

so unless that clears up there is no need to keep on discussing this.

Fair enough, but we've already covered that it's not a bug. You offer zero support making this something that it doesn't need to be (there's absolutely no need for a screenshot, lol, it's clear what the solution is: A different engine is needed for the project at hand). Jumping in when this has already been cleared up and saying "LOGS OR EET DIDN HAPPAN!!!1!" is completely counter-productive.
