The engines seem to absorb steam blocks for a short radius around them. (2-3 blocks, it seems) placing a steam-o-matic nearby (right next to and one block below seems to be ideal for engine absorbtion) or a heater with a cauldron on top of it so the steam block spawns directly next to the engine works remarkably well.

The engine does NOT require redstone to function
