To add to BetaDude40, Redstone Engines do not explode UNLESS they're not powering anything. Unlike combustion engines, which will explode after a certain time if you do not give them water, Redstone Engines will not explode.

Maybe your sources of water and oil were already droughted up (used up) and therefore, the pump wasn't doing anything, so Redstone Engines weren't doing anything while they were still on, resulting in a kaboom. Maybe your lava source wasn't yet used up, therefore your Redstone Engine(s) powering your pump of lava source didn't yet explode. They will (probably, have NOT checked this myself) probably explode after a certain amount of time if your lava well (source) dries up.
